Elastamax™ HTE thermoplastic elastomers are based on PVC resins and nitrile rubber. These elastomeric materials provide outstanding resistance to hydrocarbons and oils, offer excellent weatherability and provide an economical alternative to thermoset rubber and other, more costly thermoplastic elastomers. Many standard and custom-formulated grades are available for both injection molding and extrusion melt processing.
Key Characteristics
Elastamax HTE thermoplastic elastomers offer the following key features and benefits:
- Hydrocarbon and oil chemical resistance
- Wide hardness range
- Excellent weatherability
- Abrasion resistance
- Excellent tensile properties
- Low-temperature performance
Additional Product Information
Elastamax HTE products have found broad use in many industrial and building and construction applications where toughness, durability and flexibility across a broad temperature range are important. Elastamax HTE products are an ideal choice for applications in a variety of industries, including building and construction, appliance, industrial and consumer. These materials are ideally suited for co-extrusion over rigid plastics such as PVC and PVC/ABS alloys for dual durometer profile applications.
