What are Elastomers?
Elastomers are a category of pliable plastic material that are good at insulating, withstanding deformation, and molding into different shapes. As a particular kind of polymer, elastomers include natural and artificial rubber. We find elastomers in a wide variety of applications, from the wheels on a skateboard and the soles of tennis shoes, to the insulation covering speaker cables and telephone lines. Elastomers are useful and diverse substances that easily form various rubbery shapes. Many industries rely on parts made from elastomers, especially automobiles, sports, electronics, and assembly line factories. This is because these unique polymers offer many unique properties. They are easy to sculpt when they are in their softened, resinous state. Yet once they harden, they remain impervious to changes in most changes in temperature as well as stress like stretching or compressing. Industries working with elastomers have long praised them for being very strong when struck, hard if sc
