KEVLAR engineered elastomer enables the compounder and designer to achieve performance, properties and designs not possible in the past. Compounds have been engineered to improve wear and abrasion, achieve better frictional properties, improve tear, improve shear resistance, replace reinforcing fabric, reduce part thickness, or lower rolling resistance.
Oil-resistant rubbers. G Types have best tear strength and flex crack resistance. W Types have best heat aging and compression set resistance. T Types contain gel for best processing, with RT Types resistant to crystallization at low temperature. Neoprene W is a general purpose polymer. Different viscosity versions are shown below the main types. Other grades are available for more specialized applications, including latex and adhesive polymers.
