Heat-resistant rubber.


Levapren, said to be well established in the wire and cable industry, is said to be gaining momentum in a number of other applications. It is said to be proving to be a cost-effective alternative for various automotive products, including seals, gaskets and hoses, for which the oil and heat resistant specialty 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.  has special advantages, according to according to
