Tensile properties are measurements used to describe how an elastomer performs when stretched. Several tests are commonly used to give an indication of how a TPE will perform in end-use environments. A spring is used to push a metal indenter into the surface of the material, measuring how far it penetrates.

These materials are formulated using select engineering resins along with proprietary conductive additives, and have been shown to improve thermal conductivity by 50-100 times that of conventional plastics.  Explore how one manufacturer shifted away from metal to improve products and save.
