Polyurethane (PUR) vs. Neoprene Cable: Which should I choose?

Material selection depends on your operational environment.

• Neoprene (Chloroprene):
  • Pros: Excellent flexibility, good memory (returns to shape), and perfect chemical bond with the rubber connector body (Unibody).
  • Best for: Standard ROV tethers, diver equipment.
• Polyurethane (PUR):
  • Pros: Extremely tough, resistant to cuts/nicks, better oil/chemical resistance.
  • Best for: Shallow water abrasive environments, ploughs, and trenchers.
• Note: Our High-Temperature Vulcanization works best with Neoprene cables for the ultimate watertight bond.
