mareon™

new foam from old wetsuits

Mareon™ is a recycled, rebonded foam made from retired neoprene. It's a circular foam alternative for applications around the water.

what it's comparable to

where Mareon™ fits

Rebonded foam is a well-established material family. Mareon™ is built to sit alongside the foams used in these applications, with the neoprene advantages carried through.

⚓

fender & bumper foam

Impact-absorbing cores for docks, boats and marina protection, where weather, UV and ozone resistance matter.

🏠

building insulation

Thermal and acoustic insulation and underlay, where a self-extinguishing material is a real advantage.

🌊

mats for wet decks

Cushioned, non-slip matting for pool decks, dive boats and changing areas that stay damp.

Mareon™ is made for use around the water, not in it. It suits applications that get splashed or rained on, not ones that sit permanently submerged. Want specs for your application? hi@makewayve.com

why neoprene foam

the chlorine does the work

weather resistantbuilt for sun, rain and salt air
UV resistantdoesn't degrade under strong sunlight
ozone resistantresists ozone cracking
self-extinguishingthe chlorine helps flames die out on their own once the heat source is gone
