Neoprene – Physical Properties & Dimension

Neoprene laminating sheet - NEOPRENE CATEGORY

Neoprene is normally classified in different qualities depending on its content of polychloroprene. Every manufacturer decides the different grades, but the most common qualities are: CR (100% polychloroprene), CVS (sometimes called also CS, a blend of polychloroprene and styrene butadiene rubber, SBR) and SBR (100% styrene butadiene rubber). It’s impractical to state which grade is the best, since each degree has different applications. Please continue reading to learn further...

How do different neoprene grades affect wetsuit performance and durability?

The performance of wetsuits depends critically on neoprene grade selection. Our CR-V2 and CR-V4 materials offer superior elasticity (480% and 400% elongation) with excellent waterproofing, making them ideal for premium diving suits. For competition wetsuits requiring enhanced durability, our CR-V9 provides exceptional tensile strength (10 kgf/cm²) while maintaining flexibility. Contact us for material samples to test how our neoprene can improve your product performance and market position.

With over 31 years of manufacturing expertise, Voll Will's neoprene sheets are available in various dimensions up to 50" x 126" and are engineered to meet the demanding requirements of water sports equipment, protective gear, and industrial applications. Our CR-series neoprene offers exceptional waterproofing and elasticity ideal for diving suits and water-resistant applications, while our CVS and SBR series provide cost-effective solutions for sports protection, promotional items, and everyday products. Each grade is manufactured under strict quality control to ensure optimal performance characteristics including cold resistance, compression recovery, and dimensional stability under various environmental conditions.
