ELASTOMERS
Highly functional, flexible products, great foreveryday applications
TPV AND TPE
A mouldable, flexible thermoplastic polymer that provides rubber-like properties and is ideal for ‘soft touch’ grips.
SILICONES
When you need a high-performance polymer, silicone elastomers are versatile and can offer heat resistance and durability.
URETHANE
Tougher, stronger and longer lasting than other elastomers, urethane elastomers are heat resistant and have a high load-bearing capacity.
What are elastomers?
Elastomers are highly elastic and return to their original shape after being put under stress. With advances in technology, elastomers now provide an enormous scope of properties as elastomer solutions increasingly cross over both thermoplastic and thermoset product ranges.
