- Mechanical Strength: Exhibits high resilience, good tensile strength, and excellent tear resistance.
- Durability: Offers notable wear resistance and good flexing qualities, even at low temperatures.
- Stability: Features low permanent set characteristics, meaning it returns to its original shape effectively after deformation.
- Versatility: In its uncured gum state, it can be molded into parts, extruded into profiles/tubing, or calendered into sheet goods.
- Temperature Range: Maintains an effective operating range of -40°F to 160°F.
Limitations
- Chemical Sensitivity: Does not perform well when exposed to chemicals or petroleum derivatives (including petrochemicals).
- Environmental Degradation: Not recommended for outdoor use where it faces exposure to:
- Sunlight
- Ozone or Oxygen
- Heat aging
