Confusion can arise when discussing hardness due to the variety of measurement scales and its relationship to other material properties. Durometer readings can either be taken instantaneously or after a specific delay time, which typically range between 5 and 10 seconds. The relationship between different hardness scales can be found in the figure above.

Caption: Avient’s sustainable solutions can offer numerous opportunities for improved appearance and performance in today’s vehicles.
