Geolast® (TPE) - FittingsAdvantages: For applications requiring enhanced oil resistance that meets or exceeds that of nitrile rubber and epichlorohydrin. Geolast® is an oil-resistant thermoplastic elastomer that performs with the versatility of rubber with a cost closer to that of thermoplastic. Benefit through a cost savings and comparable performance to thermoset rubbers such as NBR, polychloroprene, ECO and even some urethanes. Geolast® features good retention of properties in hot air and hot oil aging, and provides a good combination of the low-temperature (-40°F) performance and the degree of oil resistance commonly associated with NBR and ECO rubber compounds. Connectors and fittings made of Geolast® exhibit low oil swell and the low compression set making it suitable for use in automotive and industrial areas. The specific gravity of Geolast® is 15% to 45% lower than NBR or ECO, permitting you to produce light-weight assemblies.
