message: In the article it mentions how lead and various other chemicals and or elements are used in production that can make neoprene harmful; I'd like to know how to minimize or eliminate the threat of these substances (specifically the lead). Is there a cleaning method or some other solution?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.175.11.251 (talk) 15:10, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I'm curious about the relationship of neoprene to latex?  Could someone respond?  Thanks.
: I don't think there is one -- latex is a natural rubber, neoprene a man-made rubber. --ukexpat 00:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Which of the fact tags are you talking about? The external link can be converted into a reference. It may be appropriate to do that. If you edit the first paragraph, you will see an example of how to cite a reference:  - Neparis (talk) 16:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I can not find any legitimate reference to open cell neoprene.  In diving suits, it seems open cell means nylon lined.  Many will sell you "open cell neoprene" but none are reliable sources of information, and the manufacturers and suppliers to industry don't sell it.  The source referenced "open cell vs closed cell" notes that open cell foams are available in polyurethane or melamine foams, but mentions neoprene only under closed cell foams.  I believe this reference should be removed unless a legitimate reference can be found.

message: This page states that the density 'Can be compounded to 1.23g/cm3.' 
Although this may be explicitly correct it can be misleading as Neoprene is generally not that densein bulk form.
This is contradicted in subsequent paragraphs that say the foam is quite bouyant.
Neoprene is commonly observed to float in water, implying therefore that its density is lower than water (1g/cm3).
I think it would be reasonable to have a density for solid neoprene, 1.23g/cm3 (Wood, L.A., Bekkedahl, N., Roth, F.L., 1942. Density Measurements on Synthetic Rubbers. Industrial & Engineering Chemistry 34, 1291–1293.. doi:10.1021/ie50395a008)
and a measurement for foam neoprene of 0.100-0.300 g/cm3 (Naebe, M., Robins, N., Wang, X. and Collins, P., 2013. Assessment of performance properties of wetsuits. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part P: Journal of Sports Engineering and Technology, 227(4), pp.255-264.) & https://www.alanto.co.uk/information/glossary/what-is-neoprene#:~:text=Ref%20DK1410%20Density%20115%2D155,m3%2C%2040%2D45%20Shore%20Hardness  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oddroj (talk • contribs) 05:26, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
