Yulex CC closed cell foam rubber made with yulex

YULEX CC closed cell foam rubber by Yulex is the world’s first natural, plant-based replacement for polychloroprene (aka neoprene) foam. Originally created in partnership with Patagonia for their neoprene-free wetsuit. YULEX CC and its range of applications have grown steadily ever since the commercial launch with Patagonia, winning multiple surf industry and environmental awards, trade and international recognition. YULEX CC is now the first choice by global brands looking for higher performing, environmentally friendly and plant-based replacements for synthetics.
