(*) Compression Set testing is performed at room temperature on a sample compressed ~50% of its thickness, held for 24 hours, then released and allowed to relax for 3 hours. Compression set is expressed as a percentage of the original deflection.

V-TEMS are visco-elastic thermoplastic elastomers (TPE’s).
This means these materials can hold a shape, exhibit high degrees of elongation, and can be melted, solidified, and remelted with minimal or no loss of properties. Read more
