Rubber / Elastomer
Elastomeric materials are tested for strength, dynamic properties, toughness, resistance to impact, and where elasticity during stretching are needed. Specialty elastomers are used for aerospace and medical applications. Rubber compounds for tires, shoe soles, belts, pulleys, gaskets, hockey pucks, running shoe soles, exercise mats. Polyurethane is a high performance elastomer.
