General Considerations
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 & 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 & 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. |
