Product design Criteria: Elastomers

?
Explain the molecules of elastomers, and elastomer material properties
long-chain molecules considered to be coils. When material is compressed or stretched molecules distort, when release back to original shape.
1 of 5
Name application products of TPE (thermoplastic elastomers)
Electrical components (insulating coatings for wires), overmoulding of grips or powertool bodies and toothbrushes, seals and hoses
2 of 5
What process is used to make Liquid silicon rubber (LSR) products
Modified version of injection moulding
3 of 5
What are the advantages of Liquid silicon rubber (LSR) material?
maintain insulating and elastomeric characteristics over a wide temp range -50 to 250+
4 of 5
Give an advantage of using TPE's in manufacture
All Waste and scrap can be recycled
