The NEC is developed by NFPA's Committee on the National Electrical Code, which consists of 19 (20 in 2008) code-making panels and a technical correlating committee.Work on the NEC is sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association.The NEC is approved as an American national standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It is formally identified as ANSI/NFPA 70. First published in 1897, the NEC is updated and published every three years.he NEC is approved as an American national standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Neoprene or polychloroprene is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of chloroprene.Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range.eoprene is produced by free-radical polymerization of chloroprene. In commercial production, this polymer is prepared by free radical emulsion polymerization. Polymerization is initiated using potassium persulfate.
All of these respirators (except for the dust masks or filtering face pieces) are available in either half-mask or full-face pieces. What are respirators made from? Filtering facepiece (dust masks) are generally made directly from a cloth-like filter material. Chemical cartridge/gas mask respirators can be made from a variety of materials. The most popular facepiece materials are silicone, neoprene, and rubber. In general, rubber and neoprene are rigid, durable materials. Silicone is usually preferred for its comfort, flexibility and ease in cleaning.
