  2. Foam rubber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_rubber

    Foam rubber was first made in 1929, by E. A. Murphy [2] and Eric Owen, two research chemists at Dunlop Rubber, who used whipped latex. In 1937, isocyanate-based materials were first used to make foam rubber. After World War II, styrene-butadiene rubber replaced many natural types of foam. Foam rubber has been used commercially for a wide range ...

  3. Polyurethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane

    Polyurethane foam (including foam rubber) is sometimes made using small amounts of blowing agents to give less dense foam, better cushioning/energy absorption or thermal insulation. In the early 1990s, because of their impact on ozone depletion , the Montreal Protocol restricted the use of many chlorine -containing blowing agents, such as ...

  4. Neoprene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene

    Neoprene. A neck seal, wrist seal, manual vent, inflator, zip and fabric of a neoprene dry suit. The soft seal material at the neck and wrists is made from single backed closed-cell foam neoprene for elasticity. The slick unbacked side seals against the skin. The blue area is double-backed with knit nylon fabric laminated onto closed cell ...

  5. Foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam

    Foam rubber is a type of open-cell foam. A closed-cell metal foam. Closed-cell foams do not have interconnected pores. The closed-cell foams normally have higher compressive strength due to their structures. However, closed-cell foams are also, in general more dense, require more material, and as a consequence are more expensive to produce.

  6. Ethylene-vinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate

    Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), also known as poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate) (PEVA), is a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate. The weight percent of vinyl acetate usually varies from 10 to 50%, with the remainder being ethylene. There are three different types of EVA copolymer, which differ in the vinyl acetate (VA) content and the way the ...

  8. Polyurethane foam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyurethane_foam

    The so-called flexible polyurethane foam (FPF) is produced from the reaction of polyols and isocyanates, a process pioneered in 1937. [1] FPF allows for some compression and resilience that provides a cushioning effect. Because of this property, it is often used in furniture, bedding, automotive seating, athletic equipment, packaging, footwear ...

  9. Dry suit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_suit

    The neck seal, the zip, the inflator, a wrist seal, and the manual cuff vent of a neoprene dry suit. Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber which can be foamed during manufacture to a high proportion of tiny enclosed gas bubbles, forming a buoyant and thermally-insulating material, called "foamed neoprene", "foam-neoprene" or "expanded neoprene ...
