Key Characteristics Tensile strength and tear resistance. Further Comments The outstanding strength of natural rubber has maintained its position as the preferred material in many engineering applications. It has a long fatigue life and high strength, even without reinforcing fillers. Other than for thin sections, it can be used to approximately 100°C, and sometimes above. It can maintain flexibility down to -60°C if compounded for the purpose. It has good creep and stress relaxation resistance and is low cost. It's chief disadvantage is it's poor oil, oxygen and ozone resistance, although these latter disadvantages can be ameliorated by chemical protection.
