Milastomer™ Thermoplastic Olefinic Elastomer Characteristics

Milastomer™ is a line of high performance thermoplastic elastomers that exhibit a unique combination of properties such as excellent strength over a wide range of temperatures, high heat resistance, exceptional resistance to chemicals and UV and dimensional stability. Milastomer has exceptional flexibility and can perform or outperform functions that normally require conventional rubbers.

Hybrid Characteristics of Polyolefin and Vulcanized Rubber

Characteristics of Polyolefin	Characteristics of Vulcanized Rubber
Easy to process: Injection, extrusion, calendaring, blow, vacuum forming, embossing, welding by heat fusion, etc.	Flexible and elastic like rubber
Coloring by pigment to any desired color	Low compression set
Low density	High heat resistance
Excellent weatherability	Very tough
Recyclable

Characteristics: Low Density

Characteristics: Heat Resistance

Heat resistance compared with other Thermoplastic Elastomers

Characteristics: Elasticity

- Low Compression Set at Elevated Temperature
- Superior Long-Term Compression Set

Characteristics: Heat Aging

Characteristics: Toughness at Low Temperature

	Brittle temperature: - 60°C or less
	Non-break in - 30°C Izod Impact test

Characteristics: Chemical Resistance

Excellent resistance to water, acids, alkalis, alcohols, acetone and vegetable oils. However, care must be taken for environment exposed to gasoline, mineral oils and hydrocarbon-based organic solvents etc.
