1.5mm CR Neoprene Sheet - High Stretch Smooth Skin

Neoprene Sheet (SBR, SCR, CR) - Manufacturers and Suppliers

The journey of a high-quality CR foam sheet begins with a large raw block of neoprene, often called a "sponge block" or "bun." At our factory, we utilize precision splitting machines to meticulously slice these blocks into sheets of your desired thickness, from an ultra-thin 0.5mm to a robust 45mm. This process results in two distinct surface types:

• Cell: This is the internal surface of the slice, characterized by a porous, textured finish. The cell surface is perfect for lamination, providing an excellent bond with various high-stretch fabrics.

• Skin: This is the original, non-porous outer surface of the sponge block. Since each block has only two skin surfaces, the production of "skin sheets" is inherently more limited than "cell sheets."

A critical distinction lies in the rubber polymer used. CR (Chloroprene Rubber) is the only material that produces a genuine "Smooth Skin" surface. This surface is exceptionally soft, flexible, and has a premium matte finish ideal for hydrodynamic applications. In contrast, blended materials like SCR and SBR form a "Hard Skin," which is noticeably stiffer, less flexible, and has a more plastic-like feel. For applications demanding maximum performance, comfort, and a true second-skin fit, CR Smooth Skin is the undisputed professional choice.

1.5mm CR Neoprene Sheet (Chloroprene Rubber) Features

Our 1.5mm CR Neoprene Sheet is engineered from 100% pure chloroprene rubber, delivering a host of high-performance features that set it apart from inferior blended alternatives.

• Superior Elasticity & Flexibility: As a genuine high stretch neoprene, it offers exceptional four-way stretch and shape memory, allowing for a snug, non-restrictive fit that moves with the body.

• 100% Waterproof & Windproof: The closed-cell structure combined with the non-porous smooth skin surface creates an impermeable barrier against water and wind, which is fundamental for thermal insulation.

• Excellent Thermal Insulation: The nitrogen gas bubbles trapped within the closed cells provide an outstanding insulation-to-weight ratio, retaining body heat effectively in cool waters.

• High Tensile Strength & Durability: CR is renowned for its robustness and resistance to tearing and compression, ensuring a long service life even under the rigors of professional use.

• Resistance to Seawater & Chemicals: It exhibits excellent stability against saltwater, oils, solvents, and general chemical exposure, preventing material degradation over time.

• UV & Ozone Resistance: Naturally resistant to degradation from sunlight and ozone, making it the perfect material for outdoor and marine applications.

Main Applications for 1.5mm CR Smooth Skin Neoprene

The unique properties of our 1.5mm CR Smooth Skin sheet make it the material of choice for applications where performance, comfort, and hydrodynamics are paramount.

• High-Performance Wetsuits: The ultimate neoprene for wetsuits used in freediving, spearfishing, triathlon, and surfing, where a second-skin fit and minimal water drag are essential for performance.

• Diving Hoods, Gloves & Socks: Its superior flexibility and warmth are perfect for creating comfortable and effective diving accessories that don't restrict movement.

• Swim Caps: Provides excellent thermal protection for open-water swimming without sacrificing comfort or creating drag.

• Medical & Orthopedic Supports: Used in high-end knee and elbow braces where consistent compression, flexibility, and skin comfort are required.
