Rubber and urethane temperature capabilities / Temperature capabilities of basic elastomers
All designers need to pick a material to make their parts, but matching an application to a specific plastic can…
Urethane elastomers have a higher load-bearing capacity than do conventional elastomers of comparable hardnesses. This permits the design of smaller…
NATURAL RUBBER (NR) Natural Polyisoprene Advantages: Outstanding resilience; high tensile strength; superior resistance to tear and abrasion; excellent rebound elasticity;…
This chart compares the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of elastomers.
Tear resistance is a complex result of other basic properties, such as modulus and tensile strength. Many laboratory methods have…
Resilience is defined as the ratio of energy given up in recovery from deformation to the energy required to produce the deformation, usually expressed as a percentage. Hysteresis is the percentage of energy loss per cycle of deformation of 100% minus the resilience percentage.
