Neoprene supplier?

[julianf]

Trying to find a supplier of neoprene off the roll (ie by the mtr, rather than repair patches) and, what I thought would be a quick trip to eBay, isn't...

eBay has loads of 2mm options, but nothing in sensible thicknesses.

I believe wet suits go up to about 7mm, so this stuff exists, and wet suit suppliers are not going to be manufacturing it in-house.


This is for making suitcase protectors (bags that are suitcase sized) - you don't need to understand why (!) I'm just mentioning it to indicate the sort of sizing needed.

Can someone point me anywhere?

Thank you.

Elwyn Harper at Worcester used to make tailor made wetsuits, if he is still around he may be able to help you

Edir, looks like he’s now trading under Seastyle

"2mm thick neoprene fabric. "

Does not specify thickness, however, lists 330gsm. Various other suppliers listing 2mm give the gsm at 300. If theres a linear relationship, the 10% increase in gsm would equate to 2.2mm. Which, to all intents and purposes, is 2mm.

These folks do 5mm patches and say to email for up to a sheet (2.1 x 1.2) size - https://www.northcoastwetsuits.co.u...e-smoothskin-neoprene-wetsuit-repair-patches/

I tried 'neoprene roll' and one of the first that appeared was this:

Commercial Grade Neoprene Rubber Sheet – Oil, Grease & Sea Water Resistant | Flame Retardant & Weatherproof | Sold by the Metre

Commercial Grade Neoprene Rubber Sheet Linear Meter

rubberco.co.uk

It looks like 1400mm wide is the largest they sell.

Gym flooring mat also appeared but I do not know if it is strictly neoprene.
