What is neoprene rubber? and what is neoprene used for ?
Neoprene rubber is a kind of synthetic rubber made by DuPont and benefit from it’s great performances on waterproof, insulation, compression, now neoprene rubber is widely used on medical, garments, daily use and industries.
Neoprene material includes solid neoprene and sponge neoprene, and in All4 Neoprene Group, we supply sponge neoprene material, which is soft and elastic, so it can be laminated with fabrics and be active in our daily life.
All4 Neoprene Group supply 2 kinds of services, the neoprene fabrics rolls and OEM neoprene end products, as below shows
Neoprene sheets and neoprene rolls supplying service, including nylon neoprene, polyester neoprene, velcro neoprene, lycra neoprene…
neoprene end products OEM services, including OEM wetsuits, socks, cup coolers…
When it comes to what neoprene is used for, it’s inevitable to describe neoprene rubber’s characteristics.
- neoprene is waterproof, so it is the ideal material for wetsuits, diving suits, and related diving gear like diving socks, pants…
- neoprene is insulation, so it may used as gaskets;
- neoprene is compression, together with the heat-insulation feature, so it is popularly used on orthopedic braces;
To have a comprehensive knowledge of what is neoprene used for, you can simply visit our OEM neoprene end products or contact us to get more.
Below we are showing the whole procedures from the neoprene material being created to its high performances.
1. Neoprene Rubber Created
Neoprene rubber is created through a chemical process called polymerization, where individual chloroprene molecules link together to form a polymer called polychloroprene, which is essentially the base material for neoprene.
This process involves mixing chloroprene with additives like carbon pigments and foaming agents, then heating the mixture to create a rubber compound that can be molded into various shapes and densities depending on the desired application.
2. Neoprene Fabrics created after lamination
After laminating with fabrics on the double sides or single side, optional, the neoprene fabric come to the world, which is soft and elastic and more like a normal fabric now, so it can be used on several aspects.
The main difference of neoprene fabrics vs normal fabrics is their structure as below,
3. Neoprene Structure
Neoprene rubber has a closed-cell structure, which means it doesn’t allow water to pass through easily.
Neoprene fabric has a 3 layers structure, like a humburg, with the neoprene rubber in the middle and double sides (or single side) laminated with fabrics.
4. Neoprene colors
Neoprene rubber has 2 colors, the black and the white, like night days and white days.
But wait, neoprene white color actually has 2 types, the rice white and pure white. same like the daybreak and noon.
Neoprene fabrics colors, literally the fabrics’ colors, are countless. Because fabrics can be dyed into customized colors, based on Pantone color chart.
We, All4 Neoprene, have our own color stocks for most of the fabrics like nylon, polyester, lycra…and without any MOQ.
Also we welcome inquiries for customized colors or printed neoprene fabric, and the MOQ is mostly 300pcs, or 1000 meters, or 1086 yards.
5. Neoprene sizes
The neoprene sheets are uniform of 51’’ width, 130’’ length, and 1-12mm customized thickness, and mostly they are quoted and sold by pieces, also it’s available to order neoprene by yard or by meters.
6. Neoprene Hardness
The popular hardness of neoprene is 9-11 degree Shore C, which are used for common sports supports,
Also the 0-3 degree Shore C hardness neoprene is available, which is softer and used for higher standard of neoprene orthopedic braces and garment.
13-15 degree Shore C, and 15-18 degree shore C hardness neoprene fabrics are also available, and they’re harder and have better protection performance.
We can do it if customer want to customize the hardness, but a MOQ is needed, and decided by the hardness value.
7. Neoprene types
SBR neoprene, SCR neoprene, and CR neoprene are the 3 types of neoprene in the market.
SBR neoprene has a regular hardness and mostly widely used in most industries.
Adding percentages of CR into SBR, the SCR neoprene is created, and we have 15% SCR, 30% SCR, 50% SCR…
CR neoprene is the most used in the high-end medical industry and diving suits gears.
8. Neoprene packing
Neoprene sheets are packed into rolls, with high PP bags as the internal packing, and weaving bags as the external packing, which will protect them from logistic injuries.
There will be sticker labels on packing for customers to recognized the material and goods.
