What materials are used to make realistic mermaid tails?

To manufacture realistic looking mermaid tails, materials like for example rubber, latex or silicone seem to be suitable. Besides the look, a mermaid tail also needs to be efficient when used for swimming. Therefore, materials such as silicone are great. Silicone is neutrally buoyant, which means it neither floats nor sinks. Additionally, mermaid tails are often used in chlorinated water or saltwater. For this reason, silicone seems to be the best material to manufacture realistic looking mermaid tails. Silicone, when looked after correctly, is pretty resistant against chlorine, salt and sand.
