Advanced Elastomer Systems Santoprene® 251-80 Thermoplastic Rubber  (discontinued **)

A colorable thermoplastic flame retardant elastomer with good fluid resistance, formulated to replace thermoset elastomers such as EPDM, polychloroprene, and chlorosulfonated polyethylene. It can be processed using injection molding, extrusion, blow molding or other melt processing techniques.Key Features: Dielectric constant 2.44, dielectric strength at 3.17 mm (125 mil), 19.6 kV/mm (500 v/mil); UL Yellow Card listed (1.4 mm [55 mil]); UL 94 flame rating 1.4 mm (55 mil): V-O; Limiting oxygen index, 25%; Excellent flex fatigue resistance; Excellent ozone resistanceAdditional processing comments: This thermoplastic rubber is a shear-dependent material that can be processed on conventional thermoplastic equipment for injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding. For extrusion, a general purpose screw with a compression ratio of 2.5 to 3.0 is recommended. Material can be recycled. SANTOPRENE rubber is incompatible with acetal and PVC.Values below are for injection molded plaques, side gated, 82.6 mm x 117.5 mm x 3.0 mm. Tensile properties measured across flow.
