Neoprene is a material that is the creation of the DuPont Corporation.
As part of the polychloroprene group of artificial rubber compounds, neoprene first carried the name of duprene and was touted to be the best and final when it comes to rubber synthetics. Neoprene will stand up to a lot of heat. Able to withstand a wide range of temperatures, neoprene is often used in the production of wetsuits, electrical insulation, car hoses and belts, and gaskets.
