Elastomer Material Selection

Elastomer Material Selection

Rubber has a variety of physical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation, modulus, compression set, and tear resistance, as well as chemical compatibility. All of these properties must be considered when selecting a rubber to be used in a Diaphragm or Orings or Gaskets or Any other custom molded part. Contact  Diatax representative for customized rubber selection for your application.
