Temperature Range : -40° to +250° F
  • Cold Water
  • Grease
  • Oils
  • Alcohol
  • Petroleum Fluids
Neoprene*
(Chloroprene)

Moderate resistance to petroleum based fluids. Good resistance to weathering, sunlight and ozone. Good resilience and low compression set.

Temperature Range :-45°F to +250° F
  • Ammonia
  • Mild Acid
  • Freon
Silicone Used for wide temperature ranges and dry heat resistance. High resistance to sun and ozone injury. Poor tensile, tear, and abrasion resistance and high friction traits. It is fungus resistant, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic.
