Elastomers and Plastomers
Elastomer Polymers with better mechanical performance, chemical resistance and flexibility
Our durable and versatile elastomers, plastomers and silicone rubber technologies drive elastomeric material performance forward. Their molecular architectures offer the creation of valuable combinations of performance properties, helping you design and produce rubber elastomer products to your exact specifications. Developed alongside leading elastomeric manufacturers and industries, our innovations mean you can benefit from excellent optics, sealing, flexibility, water repellency, durability, elasticity, electrical insulating qualities and much more.
The versatility of elastomers, plastomers and silicone rubber materials offers nearly unlimited capabilities across countless applications and products. The many uses and benefits that these materials offer include:
Materials for Flooring and Surfaces
Offering excellent flexibility, weatherability, durability and heat welding capabilities for roofing products as well as shape control, adhesion and odorless properties for flooring products.
Renewable Energy
Optimizing energy delivery with moldable and durable cable jacketing and insulation with high reliability, watertightness for underground cables, low flammability and low energy loss.
Mobility
Offering exceptional coating and sealing capabilities for airbags as well as lightweighting, chemical and temperature resistance, flexibility and durability for moldings, seals and gaskets.
Absorbent and Hygiene Products
Offering excellent flexibility and softness that is comfortable and safe for elastic hygiene applications in baby, child and adult care products.
Appliances, Home Electronics and Power Tools
Enabling kitchen utensils and housewares that are easy to wash, have excellent aging resistance and are usable in hot or cold temperatures; providing colorful grip surfaces for consumer products such as toothbrushes, hair brushes, razors and more.
Footwear
Enabling softness, shape retention and foamable capabilities for athletic footwear that provide shock absorption, comfort and durability while also helping to keep system costs down.
