Comparison of materials
TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer)
excellent resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure
provides good chemical resistance, and excellent electrical properties
limited resistance for oils (resists oils as splash)
flame retardant grades UL 94 V-0 (test thickness < 1,0 mm), halogen free
standard hardnesses 25 ShA – 70 ShA
recyclable
wide range of colours, easy to customize
service temperature range -40 - + 100°C
EMC grades with attenuation of 40 dB – 100 dB
FDA approved grades available
TPU (Thermoplastic Urethane)
good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure
good abrasive properties
limited resistance for oils (resists oils as splash)
standard hardnesses 50 ShA – 70 ShA
recyclable
wide range of colours, easy to customize
service temperature range -40 - + 100°C
FDA approved grades available
TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate)
show excellent resistance to UV Light, very little change in Delta E
improved oil and chemical resistance, Exhibit superior chemical resistance over a wide range of temperature (Oils / Petroleum and Sebum, Automotive fluids, aqueous solutions, acids and bases, organic solvents)
flame retardant grades 50 ShA to 50 ShD , UL 94 V-0 ; 1.5mm
hardness range 15 ShA to 50 ShD Temperature range continues use up to 125°C and short-term exposure up to 150°C. Brittle point lower than -60°C for most grades. Provides good low-temperature flexibility and impact toughness
it looks and feels like thermoset rubber
improved compression set at elevated temperatures (over 70°C)
medical/food contact grades from 45 ShA to 50 ShD
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
superior resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure
provides excellent chemical resistance, and good electrical properties
resists animal and vegetable oils, steam, water and oxygenated solvents
flame retardant grades UL 94 V-2 (test thickness < 3,0 mm)
standard hardnesses 40 ShA – 70 ShA
limited range of colours
working temperature range -40 - + 120°C
EMC grades with attenuation of 40 dB – 60 dB
NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)
limited weathering resistance
it is generally resistant to fuel and other chemicals. Also resistant to aliphatic hydrocarbons but less resistant aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, aldehydes and to ozone
flame resistance is poor
hardness range 20 - 95 ShA
Working temperature range of – 40 to + 125°C
environmental performances: colorability, gas permeability and water resistance are excellent
other physical & mechanical properties: adhesion to metal and rigid materials are excellent, abrasion resistance, compression set and tear resistance are good to excellent
CR (Chloroprene Rubber)
good weathering resistance, flame retarding. Moderate resistance to petroleum-based fluids
service temperature -45….+120°C
adhesion to many substrates
good resistance toward chemicals and ageing
CR in general has good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range
hardness range 40 – 95 ShA
Q (Silicone)
excellent resistance to weathering, ozone and UV exposure
also provides excellent chemical resistance and good electrical properties
resists oils as splash
flame retardant grades UL 94 V-0 (test thickness < 0,8 mm), halogen free
standard hardnesses 25 ShA – 90 ShA
wide range of colours, easy to customize
service temperature range -50 - + 200°C
EMC grades with attenuation of 40 dB – 120 dB
