The neoprene then is a doughy mixture and it is shaped into a smooth block. After it is cut into sheets and it is finished.]]> 2018-05-30 14:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/olmsteadw/neo_prene_1/wish/264538282 When and where was it made? olmsteadw https://padlet.com/olmsteadw/neo_prene_1/wish/264539471 It was made by DuPont scientists at Notre Dame in 1930.
