Characteristics of Elastomers :           

• They are high in resistance to chemical and corrosive environment.

• They have relatively low softening temperature.

• They are non- crystalline in structure.

• They are non-conductors of electricity and are relatively low heat conductors.

• They oxidize or age, causing deterioration and changes in properties.

• They exhibit viscoelastic behaviour generally to a greater extent than plastics
