Look for a material with a solid balance of the properties desired for the application. For new products, similar applications can provide valuable information. Then ask questions such as:

• To what temperature and other environmental factors will the seal be exposed?
  • These can affect the long-term physical properties of a compound.
• What are the physical, mechanical and chemical resistance properties required for your application?
• What industry standards must the compound meet such as UL, ASTM, SAE, FDA, NSF and U.S. Military Standards.
• For more information or help with questions, don’t hesitate to call our experts at 855-989-9090 or send an e-mail.
