• Enhanced compression and tension set and durability, particularly for technical
• Exceptionally low glass-transition temperature for extending low-temperature applications requiring a broad service temperature range Some considerations for choosing which Elevast™ grade is best for your application:
service range with exceptionally low compression and tension set • Tighter cure for enhanced mechanical properties • Molecular weight influences the ability of Elevast™ to enhance processability and
• Near-zero volatility for high permanence and long-term stability, resulting in properties. In general, lower-molecular-weight grades are available for extremely cold
• Improved surface appearance
retention of mechanical properties — thus extending the service life of parts temperature performance. Polymer processing conditions and application service
• Ability to eliminate blooming, bleeding, fogging and iridescence temperatures will help determine the optimum molecular weight of Elevast™ for each
• High transparency, with exceptionally low color and odor
• Improved low- and high-temperature performance application. Higher-molecular-weight grades are available for higher service temperatures.
• High purity with no aromatic, naphthenic, halogen-containing or polar components
• Significantly low compression and tension set performance • The compatibility of Elevast™ with a given polymer depends on molecular weight,
• Outstanding thermal and oxidation stability
• Retention of hardness and better feel polymer morphology and polymer type. Elevast™ C, E and R series polymer modifiers are
