[edit] characteristics
this artice is short on visible characteristics. how would one distinguish neoprene from rubberized fabric, for example? --Treekids (talk) 01:19, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] joint braces?
neoprene is also used in the creation of braces for our joints.
[edit] crushed neoprene?
I am very curious what CRUSHED NEOPRENE is all about? Could anyone add some info about that? Thanks.
[edit] latex?
I'm curious about the relationship of neoprene to latex? Could someone respond? Thanks.
- I don't think there is one -- latex is a natural rubber, neoprene a man-made rubber. --ukexpat 00:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
wouldn't it make sense to make a redirect page Neoprene rubber directing here?80.235.71.49 11:50, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Referencing an external link
The fact tag in this article could be referenced from the external link but I don't know how to do that or if it is even appropriate since that external link may qualify to be listed under References. Could someone comment on this.--Papajohnin (talk) 05:54, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Which of the fact tags are you talking about? The external link can be converted into a reference. It may be appropriate to do that. If you edit the first paragraph, you will see an example of how to cite a reference:
- Neparis (talk) 16:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)<ref name="dpe2003">{{cite web | title=Technical information — Neoprene | publisher=''Du Pont Performance Elastomers'' | year=2003 | month=Oct | url=http://www.dupontelastomers.com/literature/neoprene/585E7A59DA93810F6B1A7900D3712585.pdf}}</ref>
Under Applications. The statement about Neoprene having more fire resistance than exclusively hydrocarbon based rubbers can be referenced by the external link here not the .pdf. The article on fire doors list neoprene weatherstripping as a component. Neoprene face mask and gloves can be verified by just typing it in Google - many companies make those items. So basically I tried to move the link to the DuPont website in "External Links" to "References" (right below the .pdf that is currently there) but when I edit References all I see is {{refimprove}}.
When I try to add a reference in the format like yours it just says [1] and links to the .pdf instead of the DuPont website like I want it to. If you agree it should be done could you do it and show me what you did for future reference.--Papajohnin (talk) 05:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
