The wetsuit is made by a set of fabrics neoprene (it is a type of synthetic rubber with micro bubbles) that sewed or sealed to each other whose task is to try to prevent the passage of water or heat loss when one is wearing. Today the technology advanced a lot and we almost waterproof neoprene.
Who invented the wetsuit?
But this was not always so. The first sketches that were found on something like a neoprene date from the time of Leonardo da Vinci. Much later, Hugh Bradner worker US Navy discovered a material that could be very good insulator, but spend the time and that idea stood there, as reflected in letters in 1951.
There are two main hypotheses about who was the creator of the first wetsuit for surfing. The first candidate is Jack O'Neill (founding father of surf brand O'Neill …show more content…
TYPES OF SEALING NEOPRENE
GLUED SEAMS: sealing seams is to coat a thin layer of adhesive glue. Usually the type of seal that less hard.
SPOT TAPPED SEAMS: Used in neoprene area where two or more seams meet. It's like a round-shaped patch covering the seams union. This is to strengthen the weakest area neoprene.
FULLY TAPPED SEAMS: This is another type of sealing seams neoprene. It involves sticking a thin strip of neoprene on the connection between the two horns of neoprene. Reinforcing the area against breakage and preventing the entry of water and heat loss.
LIQUID TAPPED: One of the most used sealed. The lining is liquid neoprene seams, such as that sometimes used for seaming. It provides flexibility to suit and prevents water ingress.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR NEOPRENE
Wetsuits are damaged to use and not use. The wetsuit must wash with fresh water but we do not use it to prevent the fabric from cracking.
The wetsuits we use every day also have a fairly simple and quick
