Advantage:
|
1. High resilience.
|
2. Good compression set.
|
3. Food roll building behavior
and molding properties.
|
4. Good friction surface, but
not a fine smooth surface when ground.
|
5. High tear strength.
|
6. Low crack growth.
|
7. Good low temperature.
|
8. Usable for ketones and
alcohol.
|
9. Good low temperature
properties.
|
|
Disdvantage:
|
1. Not recommended for oil and
solvent resistance and ozone attacks it.
