  Neoprene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neoprene is the DuPont Chemical trade name for a family of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene.
Neoprene was invented by DuPont scientists after Dr. Elmer K. Bolton of DuPont laboratories attended a lecture by Fr.
Polychloroprene is the polymer of chloroprene, the synthetic rubber known as Neoprene.

 Neoprene
Neoprene polychloroprene is an extremely versatile synthetic rubber with 70 years of proven performance in a broad industry spectrum.
Neoprene is noted for a unique combination of properties, which has led to its use in thousands of applications in diverse environments.
Neoprene liquid dispersions are aqueous, colloidal dispersions of polychloroprene or copolymers of chloroprene and other monomers such as methacrylic acid or 2,3 dichloro 1,3-butadiene.

 Neoprene
There is no other fabric with all these qualities: it stretches, it's waterproof, it can be stitched or glued, it comes in a multitude of colors, it provides an insulating layer in wet environments, it's abrasion resistant and it is relatively inexpensive.
Neoprene is often referred to as 'rubber' but it is actually plastic.
Neoprene works best if it fits snug enough for you to breath comfortably and tight enough to restrict water flowing through the suit.

 Neoprene: Warmth without bulk - GreatOutdoors.com
Paddling-specific neoprene garments are one answer to the possibility of a cold swim in a river or in the surf.
Neoprene wetsuits also offer some protection against bumps and bangs in the water (but certainly not replacing a helmet) as well as bit of additional flotation.
The principal enemies of neoprene paddling garments are salt water, salt crystals, chlorine and ultra-violet rays from sunlight.

 Neoprene
NEOPRENE RUBBER is one of the best all-purpose elastomers where resistance to ozone, sunlight, oxidation and many petroleum derivatives are of prime importance.
While NEOPRENE is slightly higher in price than general purpose synthetic rubbers, its resistance to ozone, oil and chemicals override the cost differential.
NEOPRENE is generally attacked by strong oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons.

 Neoprene
Enough was known now about how to handle the material for it to be marketed and, whilst some of its properties were poorer than those exhibited by natural rubber, it had a much greater oil and chemical resistance.
The chemical name for the elastomer is polychloroprene, Neoprene being DuPont’s trade name, but, like Hoover, the word has now been accepted as generic.
The early material was still not perfect as it had poor colour, a strong smell and was not particularly stable but these defects were cured with the advent of solution polymerization and a particular advantage was found in that differing polymerization processes gave Neoprenes with differing properties.
