Urethane elastomers have a higher load-bearing capacity than do conventional elastomers of comparable hardnesses. This permits the design of smaller…
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.
At Molded Dimensions Group, we know it’s not always easy to pick an elastomer—there are many factors to take into…
Friction of urethane polymers against non-lubricated surfaces decreases with increasing hardness of the polymer, as shown in Figure 1. Because…
The electrical properties of elastomers that are most commonly measured are: Resistivity Dielectric Strength Dielectric Constant Power Factor Materials suitable…
