RESISTANCE PROPERTIES

During compound selection it is important to understand a rubber’s resistance properties, so the select rubber materials can meet all your application requirement.

These are the resistance properties of rubber.

· Alcali

· Acid

· Oil and petrol

· Water

· Steam

· Weather

· Ozone

The resistance of rubber types to selected chemicals and gases is shown in relative terms on an indexed scale with the highest resistance defined as 100. (For guidance purposes only.)

We emphasize that the following diagrams, illustrating the resistance properties of rubber types, are for guidance purposes only. Using special mixes, it is possible to adapt the various types to meet any requirements and specifications.
