GEOLAST® THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER - HIGH OIL RESISTANCE

For applications requiring enhanced oil resistance that meets or exceeds that of nitrile rubber and epichlorohydrin. Geolast® thermoplastic elastomer is an oil-resistant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that performs with the versatility of rubber and processes with the efficiency of thermoplastic. With Geolast® TPE, you benefit through cost savings and comparable performance to thermoset rubbers such as NBR, polychloroprene, ECO and even some urethanes.

Performance competitive with NBR and ECO
Geolast® TPE features good retention of properties in hot air and hot oil aging, and provides a good combination of the low-temperature (-40°C [-40°F]) performance and the degree of oil resistance commonly associated with NBR and ECO rubber compounds. Parts made of Geolast® TPE exhibit low oil swell, and the low compression set of Geolast® TPE makes it suitable for use in sealing applications in automotive and industrial areas.
