Natural (Pure Gum) Rubber

Natural rubber is a polymer consisting of isoprene. This soft material has high elasticity, which provides superior physical properties such as resistance to abrasion and low temperatures. Ideal for applications requiring acids, organic salts, and other chemicals, natural rubber is non-toxic and has a temperature range of -20°F to 170°F.

FAQ image

Neoprene

Neoprene is a synthetic rubber created by polymerizing chloroprene material. Also called polychloroprene, neoprene is a flame-retardant material that can also resist the effects of oils, chemicals, oxygen, and ozone. For applications requiring higher tensile strength and ease of movement, cloth inserted neoprene is available; each variation can operate within the same -20°F to 170°F temperature range.

FAQ image

Nitrile

Nitrile is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. This synthetic rubber material is resistant to various solvents, hydraulic fluids, animal and vegetable oils, and aromatic fuels; nitrile can also diminish the effects of heat aging. Nitrile performs optimally in temperatures ranging from -25°F to 170°F, and it is available in premium, commercial, and FDA grades.

Red Rubber (SBR)

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) has similar properties to natural rubber, but is more resistant to abrasion, wear, and hot and cold water. SBR has excellent adhesion to metals, and is available in red rubber and cloth inserted varieties; the latter is more proficient at handling movement, high compression loads, and saturated and low-pressure steam. Each SBR variation can operate within the same -20°F to 170°F temperature range.

FAQ image

Silicone

An extremely soft and adaptable material, silicone is composed of polymerized siloxanes. Silicone boasts superior elastomeric properties at both high and low temperatures and is resistant to the effects of ozone, oxygen, aging, ultraviolet (UV) light, and extreme weather conditions. Available in FDA grade, this material was a wide temperature service range of -67°F to 400°F and is intermittent to 450°F.

FAQ image

Vinyl

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a synthetic plastic polymer commonly used in applications with water or oxidizing agents. PVC material offers excellent resistance to abrasion and weather, and is available in rigid or flexible forms to suit various application needs. This material is ideal for temperatures ranging from 20°F to 160°F.
