Withstands attack by a wide range of chemicals including acids, alkalis and ketones
Good resistance to steam and caustic cleaners
Good resistance to UV light
Remains flexible at temperatures as low as -40°F (-40C)
Upper temperature limit around 225°F (107°C)
Good ozone resistance
Good dielectric properties mean it’s a good choice for electrical sealing
Good abrasion resistance
Excellent elastic recovery.
Won’t impart a taint to liquids or solids it comes into contact with
