Specification
Santoprene isn't a rubber, it isn't a plastic, it's both.
Santoprene consists of thermoplastic elastomer vulcanized rubber particles dispersed throughout a heat-formable plastic base.
This gasket material is NSF-61 certified which makes it ideal for use as a potable water gasket.
It has high resistance to compression set after repeated deflection. it is excellent at particularly high temperatures and for long periods of time.
Santoprene is well-suited for potable water, water treatment, and many applications requiring especially tight sealing.
Santoprene can be thermally welded.
