Key statement: Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) bonded to a second layer of a low tensile set silicone-polyurethane copolymer copolymer: see polymer.  elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber.  or a diene Dienes are hydrocarbons which contain two double bonds. Dienes are intermediate between alkenes and polyenes. Classes
Dienes can be divided into three classes:
  1. Unconjugated dienes have the double bonds separated by two or more single bonds.
