  • Available in 70 Durometer Shore A.  Other durometers available upon request
  • Can be used as spacers
  • Used to protect wire, pipe, hose, or tubing
  • Made in the USA

 

Applications:

  •  HVAC equipment, panels, sensitive electronic equipment, motors, platens, medical equipment, office and data processing equipment, fiber optics, security surveillance, racks, enclosures, wiring harnesses, air ducts, fire walls, cabs, trucks, busses, trailers

 

Natural Rubber (NR)

Advantages:  Outstanding resilience; high tensile strength; superior resistance to tear and abasion; excellent rebound elasticity (snap); good flexibility at low temperatures (-40° to 155° F).

Limitations: 

Poor resistance to heat, ozone, and sunlight; very little resistance to oil gasoline, and hydrocarbon solvents; Operating temperatures should not exceed 155° F.

  • Natural Rubber is not recommended from exposure to oil, gasoline, ozone sunlight.
  • Conical style mounts are not recomened in tension applications.

 Neoprene (CR)

Advantages:  Good inherent flame resistance; moderate resistance to oil and gasoline; very good resistance to weather, ozone, and natural aging; good resistance to flex cracking; very good resistance to alkalis and acids.

Limitations:  Poor to fair resistance aromatic and oxygenated solvents; limited flexibility at low temperatures (10° F to 180° F).

Nitrile (Buna-N)

Advantages:  Very good resistance to oil and gasoline; superior resistance to petroleum-based hydraulic fluids; wide range of service temperatures (-65 to 300° F); good resistance to hydrocarbon solvents; very good resistance to alkalis and acids.

Limitations:  Inferior resistance to ozone, sunlight, and natural aging; poor resistance to oxygenated solvents.
