PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
NEOPRENE
Developed in 1931 by Wallace Hume Carothers, an American Chemist,
neoprene is a synthetic rubber. It has a high resistance to heat and
petroleum based products, and was first used for hoses & insulation
for cables. Due to it's flexible, durable & insulation properties,
divers & surfers find it an ideal material for wet suits. These
same qualities make it the material of choice for all of Tropical
Cooler's products.
-
The
neoprene used in the manufacture of my products features "shape
memory". If the item is squashed, it will pop back into shape
in a short time.
-
Available in 2mm., 5mm., & 8mm. thickness, depending on the
product.
-
Covered on both sides by
colored absorbent jersey
