Are there also compounds with hardnesses lower than 65 Shore A?

With a 60 Shore A compound, most applications are covered. There are technical limits when it comes to developing softer compounds that still offer the same level of material performance. It was technically possible to include the higher hardness grades up to 45 Shore D.

How can the compounds be processed?

Various production tools were already tested during development. Compared to other material solutions, which also have increased resistance to isododecane, these compounds are much better and easier to process.

Were barrier properties tested?

The gas barrier was not a focus of our development phase, which is why we cannot provide any precise information on gas permeability at the moment.

How can you imagine the feel of the compounds? And what about the surface, is it matt or glossy?

Compared to other elastomers, the compounds in this series have a velvety, high-quality, dry surface. Thermoplastics such as PP, ABS or PET have a duller, less glossy surface.
