Elastomer Material Properties:

 

Elastomers can be molded into any shape, making them incredibly versatile and reliable materials. They are widely used in both industrial and consumer applications, offering elastic properties over a wide temperature range, unmatched by other materials. Different polymers have specific properties, including:

 

    •    Resistance to harsh environments

    •    Weather resistance

    •    Temperature extremes

    •    Hardness and softness

    •    Elasticity

    •    Electrical properties

    •    Mechanical properties

 

Specialty Polymers

 

The variety of available specialty polymers can be overwhelming, but we are here to assist you. Polymer costs can vary significantly, from tens to thousands of euros per kilogram, making it essential to have as much information as possible to identify the most suitable material for your application.

 

Some parameters to consider include:

 

    •    Mechanical – Hardness, strength, tear resistance, abrasion resistance

    •    Electrical – Resistance, conductivity

    •    Thermal – Temperature, flame retardance

    •    Chemical – Resistance to oil, acid, alkali, petroleum

    •    Environmental – Weather resistance, UV, ozone

    •    Special – Food contact, color

    •    Manufacturing – Methods

    •    Service life

 

Specialty Polymers for Extreme Temperatures and Chemical Resistance:

 

    •    Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR) offers excellent physical strength and retains its properties during long-term exposure to heat, oil, and chemicals.

    •    Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) compounds provide enhanced resistance to hydrocarbon fuels and oils and excellent stability in extreme temperatures.

    •    Fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds withstand a wide range of aggressive chemicals, oils, and extreme temperatures (-50°C to +320°C).

    •    Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) offer exceptional chemical resistance. They can withstand extreme temperatures and excel in sealing applications.
