Ocena - Natural Rubber.

Derived from meticulously managed plantations, OCENA® natural rubber sets a new standard for quality and performance. By prioritizing environmental sustainability, OCENA® minimizes its ecological impact while maximizing functionality. With comparable performance to traditional neoprene rubber, OCENA® offers exceptional elasticity, durability, and resistance to abrasion.

82% Bio-based Content.

Crafted from renewable materials like FSC certified natural rubber, oyster shell powder, and plant-based oil, OCENA® rubber is the most sustainable alternative to synthetic rubber. Leveraging over 40 years of SHEICO's expertise in rubber foaming technology, OCENA® maintains superior elasticity and durability while enhancing its bio-based content.

Oyster Shell Powder.

In the past, obtaining calcium carbonate meant mountain excavation. Today, OCENA® is revolutionizing the industry by transforming up to 1.6 million tons of oyster waste annually into a potent environmental solution. Through OCENA®'s innovative process, oyster shell powder is incorporated, turning discarded shells into bio-calcium oxide powder. Not only does this reduce waste, but it also combats environmental pollution.

ECO Infinic Carbon Black.

ECO Infinic is dedicated to repurposing scrapped tires into eco-friendly products like ECO Carbon Black. ECO Carbon Black stands as a pivotal component of OCENA®. Infused into its production, it not only lends a deep black hue to the rubber but also enhances its ozone resistance. This innovation translates to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, slashing energy consumption by 200g per wetsuit compared to traditional petroleum-based carbon black suits, resulting in a staggering 90% emission reduction.

Water-Based Glue.

In the past, solvent-based glue was typically used in neoprene lamination. However, these glues could contain harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). To mitigate this risk and prioritize user health, OCENA® has transitioned entirely to using water-based glue, AQUA α ®, thereby reducing exposure to VOCs during production.

Non Synthetic.

Crafted with the needs of athletes and adventurers in mind, OCENA® is the ideal choice for wetsuits, boots, shoes, gloves, and a wide range of accessories tailored for surface and underwater sports. Dive into unparalleled performance with OCENA®.
