Mitsui Chemicals Inc.'s plastics and synthetic rubber manufacturing technology and expertise has yielded Milastomer™, a Thermoplastic Olefinic Elastomer. There are various grades of the thermoplastic olefinic elastomer available, ranging from soft grades like vulcanized rubber to semi hard grades such as RIM urethane. Unlike conventional rubber, this elastomer does not need compounding or vulcanization once it has reached the end user. Additionally, all grades of the Thermoplastic Olefinic Elastomer can be molded or extruded similar to polyethylene and polypropylene and, like PVC, they offer excellent moldability when processed on calendaring machines. Excellent chemical resistance Excellent long-term stability Excellent mechanical strength Superb heat resistance Excellent moldability, especially for composite molding with other polyolefins High weatherability Light weight and recyclable Low temperature stability Non-halogenated emissions when disposed of by combustion Superb electrical characteristics
