Neoprene (originally called Duprene) was the first mass-produced synthetic rubber compound. It is used in a wide variety of environments, such as in Wetsuit s, Electrical Insulation , and Car fan Belt s. Its chemical inertness makes it well suited for industrial applications such as Gasket s, Hose s, and Corrosion -resistant Coating s. It can also be used as a base for Adhesive s. Neoprene is used for noise isolation in power Transformer installations. Its springy consistency makes it notoriously difficult to fold when in sheet form. Neoprene can also be used as padding in external metal cases to protect the contents while allowing a snug fit. Neoprene is also used as a contrast in some jewelry designs. Neoprene is also commonly used as a material for Fly Fishing waders, as it provides excellect insulation against cold. Neoprene waders are usually about 5 mm thick, and in the medium price-range as compared to cheaper materials such as Nylon and rubber. However, Neoprene is less expensive than breathable fabrics.
