Common Elastomer Families
- Natural Rubber (NR) — High resilience, excellent tensile
- Neoprene (CR) — Balanced properties, flame resistant
- Nitrile (NBR) — Oil and fuel resistant
- EPDM — Weather, ozone, and steam resistant
- Silicone (VMQ) — Extreme temperature range, biocompatible
- Fluoroelastomer (FKM) — Chemical and high-temp resistant
- Butyl (IIR) — Low gas permeability, vibration damping
- Urethane (AU/EU) — Abrasion resistant, high load bearing
