- Applications:
- Vibration dampening components for automotive and industrial machinery.
- Wearable medical devices that require consistent flexibility and comfort.
- Custom seals for fluid handling systems in harsh conditions.
Elastomers are available in a wide range of Shore A hardness levels (e.g., 55A, 71A, 77A), allowing for customization based on specific application requirements. Hardness levels determine the material’s resistance to deformation, making it suitable for soft-touch or load-bearing components.
- Why It Matters: The ability to select specific hardness levels ensures that the material can balance durability and flexibility, optimizing performance for different uses.
- Applications:
- Soft-touch ergonomic grips for consumer products.
- Harder elastomeric seals for industrial and automotive components.
- Color-coded parts for branding or functional differentiation using materials like EPU 46.
Elastomers are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and resist degradation when exposed to chemicals such as oils, fuels, and cleaning agents. This makes them ideal for environments with harsh operating conditions, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
- Why It Matters: Resistance to thermal and chemical damage extends the lifespan of parts and reduces maintenance costs, particularly in applications requiring consistent exposure to challenging environments.
- Applications:
- Automotive seals and gaskets in high-temperature engine systems.
- Chemical-resistant components for industrial machinery.
- Medical tubing and housings exposed to frequent sterilization processes.
Medical-grade elastomers, such as SIL 30, are biocompatible and non-toxic, making them safe for applications that come into contact with the human body. These materials can also withstand repeated sterilization cycles, ensuring hygiene and reliability in medical environments.
- Why It Matters: Biocompatibility is essential for ensuring patient safety and compliance with medical standards, particularly for wearable devices and surgical tools.
- Applications:
- Surgical guides and diagnostic tools requiring sterilization.
- Wearable medical devices designed for long-term patient use.
- Seals and tubing used in healthcare and pharmaceutical environments.
