Elastomers and Reference Materials

Our fields of activity

Production, testing, development and standardization of reference elastomers

Standard Reference Elastomers (SRE) are characterized by standardized and controlled properties. One application area is the calibration of scientific and technical test apparatuses and methods (E001 and E003). They enable the exact determination of material data if the method of measuring by itself cannot give absolute measured values. They can further be used as part of a measuring device (E002, E004 to E007). The SRE E001, E003 to E007 consist of natural rubber (NR).

SRE made from nitrile rubber (NBR), hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), polyacrylate rubber (ACM), silicone rubber (MVQ) and fluoropolymer rubber (FKM) are meant to determine the effect of mineral oils, lubricants, hydraulic liquids and other service fluids on vulcanizates made from the mentioned rubbers which are used for seals, hoses etc. They are different in their degree of swelling (E008 to E018).

We produce and offer Standard Reference Elastomers for testing vulcanized rubber products (E002)
