Elastomers

Elastomers are a type of polymer material that can stretch significantly and return to their original shape, similar to rubber. They possess high elasticity, making them ideal for products that need flexibility and resilience, such as tires, seals, and flexible hoses. Elastomers are created through polymerization processes that give them a network-like structure, allowing them to deform under stress and recover when the stress is removed. They are durable, resistant to wear, and can operate under various temperatures and conditions, making them versatile for many industrial and consumer applications.
