Whites Polytex seals are a combination
of Vulcanized Natural Rubber Latex
and Polyurethane. The Polyurethane
stabilizes the Latex and helps inhibit
the seal from tearing. Ever get a small
tear in a seal and it runs the length
when donning the Drysuit? Although
not indestructible, Polytex reduces this
tendency and allows for a repair to
be made to the seal, not necessarily
making a replacement mandatory.
Additional anti-aging ingredients
are added to combat the effects of
ultra-violet light, ozone and copper.
These additions make for a tougher,
longer lasting seal when compared to
standard latex seals.
