High Performance and Speciality Elastomers 2005
Rapra Conference Proceedings, 2005
There are many different types of high performance elastomers. Their unique properties are essential in hostile environments and application areas include the petrochemical and refining industries, automotive, aerospace, defence, wire and cable, construction, chemical plants, nuclear, medical, food and seals. Correct material selection, compounding and processing are essential. These proceedings have brought together a collection of papers for material suppliers, engineers, compounders, manufacturers, processors and end-users of high performance elastomers who discussed the most appropriate materials and formulations for different applications.
There is an exciting mix in these proceedings from both material suppliers and end users, who have discussed test and formulation data. There is an overview paper on the markets for rubbers from the International Rubber Study Group. There is also a new presentation on studies of food contact applications of high performance elastomers, with migration data available.
