Many people think of "rubber" as being a single type of material. But in the 20th century,
synthetic products were developed as a means to have rubber-like properties while adding
improved characteristics that natural rubber lacked. These other rubber-like materials are
advantageous to use for certain situations, such as their contact with certain liquids like
acids or hydrocarbons, temperature resistance, exposure to sunlight, weathering, or abrasion.
The charts below are designed to help convey information about the best rubber material to use
for a given application as it applies to the finishing / coating industry and masking
projects. Check out the typical rubber materials Viadon both stocks and can have made
(Silicone / EPDM / Neoprene) and compare how they perform relative to natural rubber.
