This bulletin summarizes the physical properties of Santoprene thermoplastic rubber after exposure to a variety of fluids and solvents.

Immersion times were all one week at temperatures ranging from 23 °C to 150°C (73°F to 302°F), depend- ing upon the fluid. Results of these tests demonstrate that Santoprene rubber is inherently resistant to a wide variety of oils, solvents, and chemicals.

In addition to an introduction and discussion, the pamphlet con- tains some seven tables on test re- sults. There is also a list of Monsan- to offices around the world where technical and sales assistance are available.
