Engineered elastomers. (Materials).


Kevlar engineered 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.  grades available from the company include Merge 1F-722, 723, 724, 735, 770 and 819. Kevlar brand engineered elastomer is an elastomeric composite whose features are said to include outstanding dispersion of very high L/D L/D Labor and Delivery

 modulus extremely efficiently, allowing compounds to be re-engineered to enhance properties and perform in new ways, according to the company. Compounds have been developed to improve wear and abrasion in some applications. Others have used engineered elastomer to achieve better frictional properties, improve tear, improve shear resistance, replace reinforcing fabric, reduce part thickness or lower rolling resistance. It is said to enable the compounder and designer to achieve properties and designs not possible in the past. (R. T. Vanderbilt, 30 Winfield St., P.O. Box 5150, Norwalk, CT06856-5150)
