What Are Elastomers?

Elastomers are a class of polymer materials known for their elastic properties, allowing them to return to their original shape after deformation. These materials include natural rubber, silicone elastomers, polyurethane elastomers, and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE)—each with diverse industrial applications.

What are elastomers, you may ask? Simply put, they are flexible, durable materials used in everything from automotive parts and construction sealants to consumer products and medical devices. Their defining elastomers properties—such as high resilience, flexibility, and resistance to heat or chemicals—make them invaluable.

Types of Elastomers

Thermoset Elastomers (Vulcanized Rubbers - Cannot be Remelted):
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs - Can be Remelted and Recycled):
