The ‘E’ in C.A.S.E: Understanding Elastomers
With over five decades in the specialty chemicals industry, TSE Industries leads the way as a premier manufacturer and supplier of high-quality elastomers. Our state-of-the-art facilities and cutting-edge technologies help us engineer custom elastomer formulations, each one crafted to meet the unique needs of our clients. What Are Elastomers? Elastomers are polymers that exhibit both viscosity and elasticity, a property known as viscoelasticity. These materials can stretch significantly and return to their original shape. The molecules of elastomers are held together by weak intermolecular forces, giving them a low Young’s modulus and high failure strain. As a result, this unique…
The ‘S’ in C.A.S.E: Understanding Sealants
In the realm of specialty chemicals, the acronym C.A.S.E represents Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers. Each plays a vital role in various industries. These components are essential in creating durable products that withstand harsh environments and provide long-lasting performance. Sealing compounds are crucial across many industries. They prevent gas or liquid from passing into, out of, or through materials. By creating airtight or waterproof seals, they ensure the integrity of structures. Sealants come in various forms, including physically reactive, non-reactive, and chemically reactive types. Each offers unique properties and applications. For example, reactive formulations cure when exposed to moisture or…
