Subcategory: Elastomer, TPE; Polymer; Thermoplastic

Material Notes:
A colorable thermoplastic general purpose elastomer with good fluid resistance, formulated to replace thermoset elastomers such as EPDM, polychloroprene, and chlorosulfonated polyethylene. It can be processed using injection molding, extrusion, blow molding or other melt processing techniques.

Key Features: Dielectric constant 2.3, dielectric strength at 3.17 mm (125 mil), 19.6 kV/mm (500 v/mil); UL Yellow Card listed, UL 94 HB flame rating; Continuous temperature rating 1000 hrs. @ 135°C (275°F); Excellent flex fatigue resistance; Excellent ozone resistance

Additional processing comments: This thermoplastic rubber is a shear-dependent material that can be processed on conventional thermoplastic equipment for injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding. For extrusion, a general purpose screw with a compression ratio of 2.5 to 3.0 is recommended. Material can be recycled. SANTOPRENE rubber is incompatible with acetal and PVC.
