The range of applications for Neoprene is so diverse; ranging from fashion, to weatherproofing, to industrial installations. Although industrial grade, RisingHippo Neoprene is not limited to industrial fields, use it in the office, around your home, or in commercial settings.
WHAT IS NEOPRENE?
Neoprene is also known as polychloropene, as it is a polymer or the molecule chloropene. In 1930 Neoprene was the first ever synthetic rubber. Neoprene is often favored over natural rubbers as it is not only water-resistant, but also impermeable to grease, oils, solvents, dust, and high heat. While being both durable and resistant to many elements, this material remains flexible and easy to use at home.
WHAT IS “CLOSED CELL” NEOPRENE?
RisingHippo Neoprene is closed cell black sponge Neoprene. The “cells” in the material are pockets of Nitrogen gas. The gas-filled cells are excellent at blocking the passage of heat through the material, making it a strong insulator. “Closed cell” indicates that these gas pockets are sealed, rendering it impermeable to water.
