Rubbers and Elastomers - Chemical Resistance (original) (raw)
Rsistance to chemicals - solvents and softeners - swelling properties.
Rubbers and elastomers resistance to chemicals, weathering, ultraviolet light and heat and temperature are indicated below. Solvents or softeneres and swelling properties are indicated too.
