Major Advantages
- Mechanical Strength: Exhibits high tensile strength and excellent elongation, even at high durometer readings.
- Durability: Offers superior resistance to abrasion and tearing.
- Environmental Resistance: Provides good protection against ozone and oxygen.
- Chemical Stability: Shows reliable resistance to aliphatic solvents and cold water.
- Low Friction: Features a low coefficient of friction, making it versatile for moving parts.
- Versatility in Form: Can be produced as either sponge or solid rubber.
- Wide Hardness Range: Available in a broad range of solid durometers, from 10 Shore A to 75 Shore D.
Common Applications
- Cast & Ground Parts: Frequently manufactured into washers and sleeves.
- Industrial Components: Widely used as a material for roller covers.
Limitations
- Chemical Vulnerability: Not recommended for use in environments involving acids or alkalis.
- Thermal Constraints: Not suitable for high-heat applications; performance degrades at temperatures above 140°F.
