2. Neoprene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoprene

   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 foamed neoprene for toughness. Some insulation is provided by the suit, and the rest by garments worn ...

3. Concrete sealer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_sealer

   Concrete sealers are applied to concrete to protect it from surface damage, corrosion, and staining. They either block the pores in the concrete to reduce absorption of water and salts or form an impermeable layer which prevents such materials from passing.

4. List of polyurethane applications - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_polyurethane...

   Closed cell polyurethane foam can be used as backfill in applications where the high density and compression strength of concrete are not necessary. [22] In addition to being considerably lighter than concrete, the closed cell nature of the material prevents the transfer of moisture to the structure being supported which can reduce the risk or ...

5. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Polyurethane is a closed-cell foam insulation material that initially contains a low-conductivity gas in its cells. [6] As a result of the high thermal resistance of the gas, spray polyurethane insulation typically has an initial R-value around R-3.4 to R-6.7 per inch. [ 6 ]

6. Sealant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealant

   Sealant is a substance used to block the passage of fluids through openings in materials, [1] a type of mechanical seal. In building construction sealant is sometimes synonymous with caulk (especially if acrylic latex or polyurethane based) [ 2 ] and also serve the purposes of blocking dust, sound and heat transmission.

7. Elastomer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastomer

   Rubber-like solids with elastic properties are called elastomers. Polymer chains are held together in these materials by relatively weak intermolecular bonds, which permit the polymers to stretch in response to macroscopic stresses. (A) is an unstressed polymer; (B) is the same polymer under stress.
