Elastomer Material Selection Guide

The document provides a material selection guide for various elastomers including natural rubber, SBR, EPDM, neoprene, nitrile, fluorocarbon, and silicone. It compares the materials across different properties such as tensile strength, resilience, temperature and chemical resistance to help select the appropriate material for an application. Natural rubber and SBR are suitable for general purpose rubber goods while EPDM and neoprene exhibit better weathering and oil resistance. Nitrile and fluorocarbon can withstand wider temperature ranges and exposure to fuels and chemicals. Silicone has the highest maximum and lowest minimum service temperatures.
