There are many materials from which you can manufacture products. However, they are certainly not all created equal. In fact, one of the highest quality materials is known as a thermoplastic elastomer. This is essentially a combination of latex rubber with plastic that combines the best benefits of both while eliminating the shortfalls that each can have.
Versatile
Elastomer can be very versatile in its construction and use. For instance, it can be very flexible when produced, almost as if it were made of jelly. This is important when it is needed for flexible tubing. However, there are also times when the tubing must be quite rigid. Thankfully, the elastomer can be manufactured into whatever softness or rigidity is needed for any particular situation.
Durable
The durability that elastomers provide is unmatched. Not only are they resistant to flame, but they are resistant to chemical damage as well. When exposed to extreme temperatures, they hold up very well. It is these very aspects that lead to enhanced quality of products. Buyers of products made with elastomers know that they are getting something that will not need to be replaced after a limited amount of time.
Consistent
The base material that is thermoplastic elastomer is very consistent. This is mainly due to the fact that there are no special processing methods associated with the material. It is not subject to any curing requirements nor is it necessary to compound the material with any other materials. It is nearly a perfect material with which to produce.
