Understanding Polyprene
Understanding Polyprene
(OP)
Hi all, I work in the Fire Service industry and recently the Polyprene truck body became popular. I've been trying to find more information on this material, and all I've been able to come up with is that, it's a mix of polyethylene and polypropylene. It usually comes in sheet stock. Anyone with any information on polyprene will be helpful.
Thanks.
Thanks.

It is strongly self promoting with some strongly biased comments.
It seems polyprene is a trade name for polypropylene co-polymer.
Many polypropylene manufacturers make various co-polymer compounds. Many of these can easily be extruded into sheet.
A search of major polypropylene suppliers sites will yield information on a vast variety of polypropylene co-polymers grades ans types.
