SWIMSUIT / WETSUIT MATERIAL.

 

Use 100% biodegradable FSC rubber Yulex Pure on its own or adding a rPET printed layer adhesive to the rubber.

​

This fabric is Yulex Pure™ which is a natural plant-based foam rubber  harvested from rubber trees that are FSC certified.  Yulex Pure™ is the world’s first high performing, non-sensitizing, 100% plant-based, ultra-pure natural rubber, sustainably sourced.

 

Perfect to replace standard neoprene foams on sustainable projects as the properties match synthetic neoprene in terms of tensile strength, tear strength, and elasticity, yet unlike synthetic neoprene it is plant based and chlorine free.

 

When compared to synthetic neoprene, Yulex also generates much less CO2 during the manufacturing process and the rubber plantations are sustainably managed and FSC accredited with the help and support of local communities.
