    Neoprene

    also: chloroprene

    neoprene is the trade name used by DuPont Performance Elastomers. A synthetic rubber that is produced by polymerization of chloroprene.

    Sedochemicals produces sheets of Neoprene in the following qualities. For most of our sensors we use 1.5 mm thick HS quality neoprene with standard polyester jersey fused to either side.
    Check the Sedochemicals website for details on the different qualities, which mainly differ in softness and stretchiness. LS, S, HS, HHS, NF, W.
