About Elastomers and Rubber Materials

Elastomers and rubber materials are characterized by their high degree of flexibility and elasticity. They are based on a variety of chemical systems. Examples include acrylics and polyacrylates; butyl, polybutene and polyisobutylene polymers; ethylene copolymers; fluropolymers such as polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE); silicone, polyurethane, and polyether block amide (PEBA); styrene butadiene rubber (SBR); and vinyl and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Elastomers and rubber materials often contain filler materials such as powders or fibers to provide improved strength and/or stiffness. Fibers can be either chopped or wound, and commonly include glass, fiberglass, or cloth. Some elastomers and rubber materials contain solid lubricant fillers such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide. Others contain aramid fibers, metal powders, or inorganic fillers with ceramics and silicates.

Products & Services Related to Elastomers and Rubber Materials

Anaerobic Adhesives and Anaerobic Sealants

Anaerobic adhesives and anaerobic sealants cure in the absence of air or oxygen.

Electrical Resins and Electronic Compounds

Electrical resins and electronic compounds includes adhesives, greases, pads, stock shapes, tapes, encapsulants, potting compounds, thermal interface materials, and electrically conductive substances used in electrical, electronics, and semiconductor applications.

Hot Melt Adhesives

Hot melt adhesives are solvent-free chemical compounds that are used to join materials. They can be repeatedly softened by heat and hardened or set by cooling, allowing parts to be removed or repositioned during assembly.

Plastic and Rubber Balls

Plastic and rubber balls are sphere shapes that are used as check or ball valves, bearings, and in other applications.

Polymers and Plastic Materials

Polymers and plastic materials are organic, synthetic or processed polymers that are supplied as raw materials or stock shapes. They typically consist of thermoplastic or thermosetting resins and can be made into many forms.

Rubber Adhesives and Sealants

Rubber adhesives and sealants are highly flexible, natural or synthetic materials that are used to join components or fill gaps between seams or on surfaces.

Thermal Compounds and Thermal Interface Materials

Thermal compounds and thermal interface materials form a thermally conductive layer on a substrate, between components or within a finished product.
