What is Uncured Rubber?

Uncured rubber refers to rubber that has not yet undergone vulcanization or curing, the chemical process that crosslinks polymer chains to give rubber its final mechanical properties. In its uncured state, rubber is soft, pliable, and somewhat tacky. It resembles a dense, malleable putty or dough that can easily be shaped, extruded, or calendered into […]

What is Solid Silicone Sheeting?

Solid silicone sheeting is a synthetic rubber commonly used in critical applications due to its exceptional heat resistance. It is also more versatile than other polymers because it retains pliability when exposed to ultraviolet radiation or extreme temperatures. Further, it is resistant to weathering and ozone, making it appropriate for various industrial purposes. Solid Silicone […]

50 Durometer Silicone Rubber

50 durometer silicone rubber represents a balanced midpoint—firm enough to maintain dimensional stability under compression, yet soft enough to conform to irregular surfaces and create effective seals. Engineers often specify 50 durometer silicone because it delivers an ideal combination of flexibility, resilience, and strength for a wide range of applications. Contact ElastaPro for 50 durometer […]
