This group includes those materials in the Class A designation (no requirement regarding volume swell due to oil) and Types A and B designations (for continuous use not exceeding 70 and 100°C).

The chemical structure of the elastomers provides them with an inherent hardness that can be altered. The modified hardness is then measured in terms of of durometer (duro) on a Shore scale. Shore A ...

Researchers have taken inspiration from natural materials such as bone and mother-of-pearl to create a new layered composite that is both extremely flexible and tear-resistant. The material can be ...

These rubbers include grades suitable for service at temperatures to 250°C and having maximum resistance to oils and greases. Some are considered specialty materials and are quite expensive. Neoprene ...
