Advantage:
|
|
1. Being compounded to have
tensile in the area of 1500 PSI and tear up to 200 lbs.
|
|
2. Low compression set and
good resilience.
|
|
3. moderate solvent
resistance.
|
|
4. Excellent heat resistance.
|
|
5. Good release
characteristics.
|
|
6. Extreme low temperature
properties.
|
|
7. Highly resistance to
oxidation and ozone attack.
|
|
|
|
Disdvantage:
|
|
1. Not recommended for most
concentrated solvents, oils, concentrated acids and dilute sodium hydroxide.
