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. |
