pro
Silicones are suitable for high-performance applications. Versatile resistance to hot/cold temperatures while maintaining a low compression set in extreme heat. Maintains flexible temperatures in cold environments (-40˚C) and allows low flammability, high dielectric strength, sterilizability, durability, and good overall mechanical properties.
con
Relatively expensive, silicone should not be submerged in alcohol, gasoline or exposure to latex, sulfur, and other materials as it may inhibit curing.
pro
Widely used and economical. Nitrile provides excellent abrasion, tensile strength, highly oil and fuel resistance properties.
con
Poor ozone, flame, weather and sunlight resistance with limited temperature ranges.
pro
Widely used economical. EPDM is a good all-around commercial material. It has excellent water resistance, ozone, uv and oxidation properties ideal for marine applications. Great processing abilities.
con
Poor capabilities with most gasoline, oil, kerosene, hydrocarbons and halogenated solvents.
pro
Good sulfur based lubricant resistance. Excellent fuel, oil, ozone, sunlight and weather resistance.
con
Poor low temperature flexibility, strength, abrasion and water resistance.
pro
Widely used material for seals and gaskets. It has very good compression set resistance and excellent resilience. It is also highly water and abrasion resistant, and tolerant to alcohols, acids and alkalis. It works over a temperature range of -60 to +220°F.
con
Poor petroleum and ozone resistance making it unsuitable for use in high voltage electrical applications.
pro
Its outstanding physical toughness makes it an excellent all-purpose rubber. It has good ozone, sunlight, oxidation and many chemicals resistance. Neoprene is a material with resilience characteristics and high tensile strength properties.
con
Higher cost, generally poor with strong oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons.
pro
Relatively economical with low viscosity and no vacuum degassing required. Urethanes have good abrasion resistance
con
Worst release properties, adhesive, moisture sensitive and limited shelf life.
pro
Relatively economical, high flexural strength, moisture, impact strength, and good chemical resistance. It has a good resistance to electricity and is thus a good electrical insulator.
con
It has a high flammability and susceptible to oxidation and UV degradation. Limited use in high temperature applications and has poor bonding properties.
pro
Largely inert with excellent electrical insulating properties.
con
Relatively expensive, not easy to mass produce, shape may deform under pressure, cannot withstand extremely high temperature and melts at 326 ˚C
pro
Low cost, Nylon is frequently used when a low cost, rigid and stable material is required. It has high mechanical strength and easy to dye and is less susceptible to fading from sunlight and ozone and to yellowing from nitrous oxide.
con
Poor water and moisture resistance, cannot handle extreme temperatures.
pro
Low compression and tension set, easily processed, fatigue resistance and good tear strength.
con
Relatively expensive, extensive heat may cause severe change in mechanical properties. Flammable but flame retardant grades available.
pro
very ductile and has good impact strength, water resistant and durable. It is a good electric insulator and has good heat resistant properties which enables use in high and low temperatures.
con
Takes a long time to break down, mainly extracted from petroleum or natural gas. The processing may lead to high emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas contributing to global warming and climate change.
pro
Great heat resistance properties, sunlight and UV resistance. It is lightweight and has high impact strength.
con
Relatively expensive and is susceptible to scratching. Considered hazardous when they come in contact with food due to release of BPA.
pro
Low cost, easy processing, great water resistance and makes a great packaging material.
con
Breaks easily and flammable and isn’t biodegradable which makes it harmful to the environment.
FDA compliance is referring to materials that are safe for direct food contact. These materials are also called food contact substances (FCS). An FCS is any material that comes into contact with or is used for manufacturing, packing, transporting or holding food.
NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) is an ANSI-accredited product-level certification that addresses the acceptable sanitation requirements for equipment and materials intended for commercial foodservice.
REACH compliance is certifying that a product is compliant with the EU REACH regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. It can be a testing report or statement issued by a third-party testing organization or it could also be a self-declaration.
RoHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances. RoHS, also known as Directive 2002/95/EC, originated in the European Union and restricts the use of specific hazardous materials found in electrical and electronic products (known as EEE).
