Moldable Rubber for Pool Toy?
Moldable Rubber for Pool Toy?
(OP)
Hi All,
I'm looking for some recommendations for a moldable rubber material to be used for a handle on a swimming pool toy. It has to be good in chlorinated water, sun, and pretty durable. Also, the current material gets all dirty and sticky with use...anything out there guard against that? I suppose kids just don't wash the ice cream off their hands...
Natural or synthetic rubbers or TPEs should all be game. I did find a little info on chlorinated rubber which might fit the bill.
Thanks for any help!

I don't think chloroprene (neoprene) would be as good for weatherability (UV and ozone resistance) especially in white/non-black materials, and, in my experience, white compounds tend to yellow somewhat in sunlight.

If you're evaluating cast urethanes, get one that's recommended for weathering and water resistance.
Hope this helps.
