Elastomeric Materials

You can select from a broad choice of materials that
will provide the compound best suited to your
product application.

Some examples are:

NEOPRENE - All purpose outdoor-indoor synthetic rubber resistant to most chemicals, oils, weathers, etc.

EPDM - Outdoor weather resistant even under extremely severe conditions, resistant to color fade, heat, electricity.

NITRILE (Buna-N) - Especially resistant to aromatic hydrocarbons, gasoline, petroleum oils, mineral and vegetable oils.

SBR (Buna-S) - Non oil resistant, economically priced synthetic rubber - especially noted for its low water absorption properties.

NATURAL - Extremely resilient with high tensile and elongation properties - also resistant to flexing, permanent set and electricity - used in food and beverage applications.

URETHANE - Outstanding tensile and abrasion qualities - excellent resistance to wear, ozone, oxygen, kerosene and gasoline.

SILICONES - Can withstand extreme heat or cold and retain flexibility - normal temperature range of -150 F to 550 F.

VITON - Will withstand extreme temperatures and is fuel and oil resistant.

UL, FDA - compounds are available
