Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range.

Neoprene is sold either as solid rubber or in latex form, and is used in a wide variety of applications, such as laptop sleeves, orthopedic braces (wrist, knee, etc), electrical insulation, liquid and sheet applied elastomeric membranes or flashings, and automotive fan belts.

Chiffon (English pronunciation, from the French word for a cloth or rag) is a lightweight, balanced plain-woven sheer fabric woven of alternate S- and Z-twist crepe (high-twist) yarns.

The twist in the crepe yarns puckers the fabric slightly in both directions after weaving, giving it some stretch and a slightly rough feel.
