Neoprene Wetsuit - Manufacturers and Suppliers

Our wetsuit made of neoprene, that provide warm, wearability and buoyancy for the wearers. Neoprene is flexible enough to wear comfortably. The use of neoprene alone is easy to tear and break, and we will laminated fabric or coating on its surface to ensure its strength and wear resistance (the processed product is called neoprene fabric). For a long time, we have been providing high quality OEM and ODM services to many famous brands. Now we also accept small orders and provide custom services.

We have the ability to develop and design professional wetsuits, the chief designer has more than 20 years' experience in developing and designing wetsuits. We are also the few factories in the industry using CAD computer aided design and pattern make wetsuits. They make the whole production process more accurate. We have our own material production line to manufacture our own wetsuit materials, which is convenient, flexible and cost-effective. Our wetsuit production line has a full range of professional equipment and skilled technicians to meet the needs of various production processes.

We have own material production line, can provide high-grade material, such as CR neoprene laminated super stretch fabric, and also provide basic material, such as SBR neoprene laminated nylon fabric. Everything depends on the orientation and budget of your product. Because neoprene rubber will age (time aging, loss of elasticity and strength), so we will not stock the materials (neoprene fabric) and products (wetsuit), we are production after receiving the order, guarantee to customers are the most fresh, most good quality products.

YKK® / PK® Wetsuit #10 Zip Slider

YKK® VISLON® / PK® 3H Wetsuit #10 Zip

Features / Type: Zip consist of plastic teeth and polyester tape. Auto-Lock, abrasion resistant, durable to salt water, that is suitable for seawater. The types include Closed and Open.

Slider: YKK® KA press slider (brass) / YKK® TA6 plastic slider / PK® KA stainless steel slider.

Explanation: YKK® KA / TA6 slider made in Japan, PK® KA slider made inIsrael. We offer genuine products (Note: the market is full of fake TA6 plastic slider!).

Wetsuit Construction:

Flatlock Stitch

Flatlock Stitch:

Explain: After the two pieces neoprene fabric are overlapped, the four stitches are crossed and the six lines are crossed through the neoprene fabric to get smooth and flat stitches. The thread residue is reinforced with "Bartack".

Advantages: It has a good of firmness due to the use of more threads during sewing and the application of a certain amount of pressure.

Disadvantages: Because the needle and the thread are both penetrating the neoprene fabric, the manufacturing process is not waterproofing performance. And because it is a two-layer overlapping seam, this process is only suitable for making wetsuits (3.0 mm and below) with a thin thickness.

GBS (Glue & Blind Stitch)

GBS (Glue & Blind Stitch):

Explain: After the two pieces neoprene fabric are bonded with "Glue", the seam is then sewed with "Blind Stitch" process, does not create penetrating pinholes. The thread residue is reinforced with "Glue" / "Spot Tape", the seam line is reinforced with "Tape" / "Liquid" / "Neotape".

Advantages: Because the manufacturing process does not penetrating the neoprene fabric, the waterproofing performance is ensured while the seam is reinforced.

Disadvantages: Because it needs to pass through half-way into the neoprene fabric, the thickness of the neoprene fabric must be greater than 2.0 mm.

GDBS (Glue & Double Blind Stitch)

GDBS (Glue & Double Blind Stitch):

Explain: The basic working principle is the same as "Glue + Blind Stitch", but the two sides of the seam are all sewed and reinforced with the "Blind Stitch" process.

Advantages: When making thicker wetsuit, the seam's firmness higher.

Disadvantages: The thickness of the neoprene fabric must be greater than 3.0 mm. The thinner neoprene fabric uses this manufacturing process, there is a risk of pinhole will penetration each other leading to the waterproof performance reduction.

Weld (Glue & Tape / Liquid / Neotape)

Weld (Glue & Tape / Liquid / Neotape):

Explain: After the two pieces neoprene fabric are bonded with "Glue", the two sides of the seam is then reinforced with "Tape" / "Liquid" / "Neotape" to strengthen the seam's firmness and waterproof performance.

Advantages: Because there is no sewing process, no pinholes are left on the neoprene fabric, the waterproof performance is the best, and there is no limit to the thickness of the neoprene fabric, the firmness and durability are good, and it is easy to maintain.

Disadvantages: Special adhesives and glues must be used, the difficulty of manufacturing is high, resulting in high cost.

Seam Reinforcement - Tape
Seam Reinforcement - Liquid
Seam Reinforcement - Neotape

Seam Reinforcement:

Explain: By additional reinforcement of the blind stitch or weld seam line improves the seam's firmness, waterproof performance and wearing comfort.

Tape Seam: Using fabric as a substrate, bonded by hot melt adhesive film, thin, the cost is relatively cheap.

Liquid Seam: Using liquid rubber as a substrate, forming a protective tape after curing, has smooth surface, and waterproof performance is the best.

Neotape Seam: Using CR neoprene as a substrate, bonded by glue, has better elasticity, firmness and waterproof performance, but the cost is relatively higher.

Thread Residue Reinforcement - Bartack
Thread Residue Reinforcement - Glue
Thread Residue Reinforcement - Spot Tape

Thread Residue Reinforcement:

Explain: By reinforcing the thread residue, prevent the problem that the entire sewing thread falls off because the thread residue is loose.

Bartack: Usually used for thread residue reinforcement of "Flatlock Stitch".

Glue End: Usually used for thread residue reinforcement of "Blind Stitch" and the cost is cheap.

Tape End: Usually used for thread residue reinforcement of "Blind Stitch", comfortable and durable, but the cost is higher.

Neoprene Material Explain:

Normative Interpretation: "Neoprene" = "CR" ≠ "SCR" ≠ "SBR"
"Neoprene" just refers to the "CR" (Chloroprene Rubber), but now the industry "Neoprene" include "CR" (Chloroprene Rubber), "SCR" (Chloroprene & Styrene Butadiene Rubber), "SBR" (Styrene Butadiene Rubber).

Normally we call the neoprene sponge as raw material, the product after cutting and laminated (cut thickness, laminated different fabric or coated / embossed / perforated) is called semi-finished product (neoprene fabric), the final product is called finished product (the product of neoprene material such as wetsuit, etc). We produce semi-finished product and finished products, semi-finished products (neoprene fabric) have a variety of uses, can be sold alone, the material Department of our factory has been supplying semi manufactured products (neoprene fabric) to manufacturing factories in various countries all over the world.

Neoprene Type	CR	SCR	SBR
Sponge Color	Black, Cream	Black, Cream	Black, Cream, White

Neoprene sponge color is black, cream and white. Usually we use black, but if light color fabric is laminated, the use of cream or white neoprene sponge is better, this collocation can better reflect the color and bright of the light color fabric. If use the black neoprene sponge will light color fabric dark and distorted. But the cost of cream or white neoprene sponge is higher than the black neoprene sponge.

The main difference between the high grade material and the basic material:

Stretch Different: The high grade material has amazing elasticity, the wearers can choose a relatively small size to achieve a more intimate, good keep warm and feel comfortable. If choose basic materials, because the stretch is relatively small, the wearers can only choose a larger size, and not fit, resulting in a corresponding reduction of the insulation effect.

Feeling Different: The high grade material is softer, feels comfortable after wearing, and because of the good stretch and flexible, and do not have a sense of oppression,it is more convenient for the wearers to carry out various water sports. These are incomparable to basic grade material.

Price Different: The high grade material is expensive, The price of "CR" + "Super Stretch Fabric" is 3 - 4 times that of "SBR" + "Nylon Fabric", Although their surfaces are similar.
