Rubber materials, or elastomers, can be stretched far beyond their original length and will return to their initial shape without breaking. These elastomers vary in characteristics depending on the type of polymer, but most offer high impermeability to water and air, as well as resistance to abrasion and tension. Some rubber compounds withstand temperatures exceeding 200\u00b0C and remain unaffected by harsh chemicals, while others maintain elasticity even at extremely low temperatures, down to -100\u00b0C. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;146716&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;80&#8243; advanced=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_overlay_opacity=&#8221;50&#8243; media_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;155998&#8243; title=&#8221;The rheometric curve example&#8221;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;193135&#8243;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rheometric curve illustrates the compound&#8217;s behavior during cross-linking and processing, providing detailed information about the properties of the final molded product.
