High Temperature Elastomers Market -Thermosetting elastomers used in automobile and transportation industry: Advanced technologies & growth opportunities in global Industry by 2023
Elastomers are polymers that possess elasticity and viscosity along with weak intermolecular forces. The elastic property helps elastomers retain their original shape once the deforming force is removed. Monomers of elastomers contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and silicon. Together, these monomers form elastomeric polymers. Elastomers possess thermosetting as well as thermoplastic properties. Thermoplastic elastomers belong to the category of polymers that melt at a specific temperature. Thermosetting elastomers do not melt at high temperatures. Thermosetting elastomers are commonly known as high temperature elastomers. High temperature elastomers do not melt; these convert into gaseous state at high temperatures. High temperature elastomers are generally insoluble in common solvents such as water. The chemical inactiveness of high temperature elastomers makes them chemical resistant and anti-corrosive. High temperature elastomers are widely used in the automobile and transporta...
