Elastomer materials are polymers with chemical linkages that provide remarkable elongation and flexibility, making them useful in a variety of sectors. These materials are made up of rubber compounds with five to 10 components, each with a specific function. Elastomers are regarded as superior alternatives to natural rubber due to their improved performance and adaptability. They are broadly classified into three types: diene elastomers, which include materials such as natural and synthetic rubber known for their elasticity and durability; non-diene elastomers, such as silicone rubber, which are valued for their heat and chemical resistance; and thermoplastic elastomers, which combine the properties of rubber and plastic, making molding and recycling simple. This accreditation confirms their suitability for a wide range of applications, including automotive and consumer items.
