Neoprene is a synthetic rubber produced by the polymerization of chloroprene. One other neat feature about neoprene is that it’s impermeable, meaning that it can work as a tight barrier to prevent the escaping of gases or liquids. Water & weather resistant properties makes it an ideal outdoor material and an excellent choice for application with exposure to sunlight, ozone, oxidation, rain, snow, sand and dust- all weather conditions. Neoprene is an excellent cushoing material as well.
