Allergy Or Toxin Warnings

Some people are allergic to neoprene while others can get dermatitis from thiourea, a compound used to vulcanize rubber into neoprene which can be left over after the manufacturing process.

Lead-containing compounds, such as litharge (lead oxide), are used as compounding agents to prepare finished products made of neoprene. These can have a toxic effect on human blood, kidneys, and reproductive systems

Cleaning Recommendations

Neoprene is resistant to dirt penetration due to the tight weave of the material. It is easily cleaned with mild soap, warm water and wiped with a soft cloth.
