the other uses of Neoprene are wetsuits, laptop sleeves and electrical
insulation
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.
Recycling
Level
Microfibers are not made from a renewable resource and they are not
biodegradable
