Neoprene is made by taking the liquid neoprene and expanding it with N2, then the resulting blocks are cut into thin sheets and then run through a laminating machine where adhesive is applied to the sheets and fabric is rolled onto the foam and cured with heat. I assume they could leave out the carbon black but it would result in a less UV robust product. I doubt the nylon is anywhere near 100% UV proof. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Sep 08 2000 - 09:07:45 PDT
