What is Scuba Fabric?

• Scuba is a thick and resilient double-knit fabric fabricated from the fibers of polyester which comprise two-way stretch. 
• It is also known as Neoprene Scuba fabric.
• The fabric was basically made by the DuPont corporation. 
• The scuba fabric is extremely adaptive and can be used in the making of different clothing.

Scuba Fabric

• Scuba fabric was initially curated to substitute rubber in 1930.  
• Due to World War II, rubber fabric was in short supply due to its harvesting process. 
• The elevated usage of rubber at that time threatened the exhaustion of the global supply.
• This prompted the corporation DuPont and other such organizations to find the fabric solution in this regard. 
• As the war ended, it was identified that scuba fabric has a variety of applications beyond its uses in the military. 
• With time fabric manufacturers began making wetsuits by using scuba material, resulting in the incredibly popularizing of this fabric among surfers and scuba drivers.
