My experience is that rubber is fine material for automotive use.

I haven't the faintest idea of where I could source a custom-made rubber bladder.
I'd be looking at outdoor inflatable advertising companies and where they sourced their material.
Hypalon-impregnated fabrics have been around for decades,out of South Carolina.
The material can be tailored over a pattern,,sewn,and seam-sealed to create
the envelope.
