Polypropylene (PP) is an economical material that offers a combination of outstanding physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties not found in any other thermoplastic. Polypropylene has excellent chemical resistance in corrosive environments where there are organic solvents, degreasing agents, or electrolytic attacks, but poor resistance to aromatic, aliphatic, and chlorinated solvents. It is lightweight, non-staining, and exhibits a low moisture absorption rate. It’s ideal for the transfer of hot liquids and gases, and in vacuum system atmospheres with high heat and pressure.

PC-ABS combines the strength and heat resistance of polycarbonate with the flexibility of ABS. Increased toughness and dimensional stability, higher heat resistance than ABS, and improved low-temperature impact resistance than PC. It is frequently used when increased mechanical properties are required when using ABS or when a lower-cost PC is required. The material can be modified by the addition of glass fiber, mineral fillers, and flame retardant.

EPDM(Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber is a low-cost option for parts having outdoor applications, exposure to moisture and electrical insulations, and, has good tear resistance. EPDM exhibits good resistance when exposed to ozone, UV rays, ageing and steam environments. However, EPDM is unsuitable for food applications and vulnerable to hydrocarbon oils, solvents, and some lubricating oils. Also, EPDM is not flame resistant.

General Characteristics

• Good resistance to UV, moisture, ozone & steam exposure
• Not suitable for the food industry
• Poor flame resistance

Common Applications

• Automobile - Seals, grommet, insulations, dampers
• Industrial - O-rings, hoses, gaskets, electrical insulation
• HVAC - Tubings, hoses, seals, gaskets, insulations

NBR (nitrile-butadiene rubber) is tough and resistant to varying temperatures. The percentage of acrylonitrile decides its oil resistance property. More acrylonitrile means more resistance to oil swelling and gases, and, makes it stronger. Less acrylonitrile means more flexibility at lower temperatures. NBR is not suitable for some chemicals, outdoor applications, and sunlight and has lower flame resistance.

General Characteristics

• Very tough
