A material which at room temperature can be stretched repeatedly to at least twice its original length and, upon immediate release of stress, will return with force to its approximate original length.

∙ 14y agoPlastics are polymers that can either be thermoplastics or thermosets, which are known for the fact that they can be molten and remolten, without change in properties, or can only be molten once respectively. Elastomers are known for their high elascitiy.

∙ 11y agoElastomers are flexible long - chain polymers which are capable of cross-linking. Cross- linking chemically bonds polymer chains which can prevent reversion to a non-cross-linked polymer at elevated temperatures. The cross-link is the key to the elastic, or rubbery, properties of these materials. The elasticity provides resiliency in sealing applications.

What type of plastic is sebs?
Poly(Styrene-Ethylene-Butadiene-Styrene) Elastomer
What is the polymer used in chewing gum?
elastomer
What is TPE plastic?
TPE stands for Thermo Plastic Elastomer. It is a range of polymers (plastics) that can be processed (moulded or extruded) like a plastic when over their melt temperature, but exhibit properties of thermoset rubber. the advantage to using TPE over thermoset rubber, is that it can be easily re-moulded and re-worked whereas rubber cannot. TPE can be soft, stretchy, and flexible, or hard and rigid depending on the mixture of crystalline and amorphous polymers used.
What kind of chemicals are contained in chewing gum?
The important components are: resins, wax, elastomer, sweetener, color, flavors, softener.
What is mooney viscosity?
The measurement used to quantify change in a thermoset or thermoplastic elastomer material's viscosity from its uncured state as it transitions to a cured or "scorched" state.
Is thermo plastic elastomer safe for human consumption?
yes
What type of plastic is sebs?
Poly(Styrene-Ethylene-Butadiene-Styrene) Elastomer
What is Kraton D3202?
A thermoplastic elastomer.
What is the polymer used in chewing gum?
elastomer
Is Neoprene a Thermoplastic Elastomer?
No. Elastomer = possesses elasticity. As with most rubbers, neoprene is an elastomer. Thermoplastic = can be melted and re-formed. Neoprene is a thermoset material, which means that it will chemically degrade instead of melting.
Elastomer is metal sheet impregnated with rubber. Is it the correct statement?
No
Where you can use elastomer products?
There is a huge range of elastomer products that are put to use in different industries. Like for example, in the automobile industry, elastomer products like ball joints and anti-vibration mounts are used. Annular blowout preventer packing unit, annular blowout seal kits, ram blowout spare parts, pipe wipers, wiper cutter assembly, drill pipe protector, tong and elevator straps and aero union tubes are some of the Elastomer productsused in the oil drilling industry.

TR or TPR material for shoe sole?
TR also known as thermoplastic elastomer is a material similar in use like rubber but different in its making. it is used to make the soles of shoes and other such. you can check out online by typing 'thermoplastic elastomer" TR in address bar.
What has the author I A Ansari written?
I. A. Ansari has written: 'Development of a novel polymer and technique for producing elastomer seals'
What is Toyota Super Olefin Polymer plastic?
TSOP is a family of thermoplastics made in its largest part of polypropylene (toyota itself refers to the TSOP as a "non conventional high-performance polypropylene"), plus three other resins compounds. The second main compound is an elastomer (synthetic butadiene rubber). The elastomer is used as a continuous phase and the PP resin is introduced into the elastomer as micro dispersed crystals. There are six kinds of TSOP, used in differents parts of the car and differents years. Their use begins with the Crown series in October 1991. TSOP2 have high flowability, and trim and garnishes are made of it. TSOP3 have high-rigidity, high-impact-resistance, and is primarily employed in instruments panels. TSOP5 and TSOP6 are a mix of 2 and 3 and are widely used in exterior parts such as bumpers.
What material returns to its original shape when a load is removed?
An elastomer, which is also called "a rubber" but most elastomers contain no rubber.
