Hi,
I'm doing a school project, trying to identify the type of rubber use in everyday life. I found this use as "rubber armour" for protecting outdoor binoculars.
After some extensive searching, I couldn't find info on the type of rubber it is (eg. is it neoprene, EPDM etc)... most websites just put down "rubber armour"...
Wonder if anyone here might be able to help!
Many thanks!
George
Most of those are vinyl (PVC) or vinyl/synthetic rubber co-polymers with pigments and plasticizers to make them feel "soft".

Why don't you call a few manufacturers? Many have 800 numbers and will be happy to share non-propriatary info.

What about Sorbothane?
Could be any number of materials, plasticized vinyl, urethane, neoprene or proprietary co-polymers. It'll vary with the manufacturer and price of the unit.

I believe that is a polyurethane vented cell foam -- similar in physical structure to those specialty mattress foams.

Sounds like it could be like Santoprene -
