3. Soft, Elastic, and Tear-Resistant.
4. Weather & UV Resistant: Suitable for outdoor/water use.Main Applications
Swimming aids, water toys, buoys, fishing gear, diving accessories, marine fenders, bath mats, and other water-related products.
Processing Methods
Injection Molding, Extrusion.
Environmental Certifications
ROHS, REACH, Heavy Metal Free. Some grades comply with food contact requirements.
Color
Various bright colors available (common warning/visible colors like orange, yellow, blue).
