3R832
Rubber
This material is recognized for its use in high temperature applications up to 250°C. The red 3R832 is more popular and economical then silicone rubbers.
Applications
3R832 has excellent heat resistance. It is also resistant to ozone, oxidation, ultraviolet rays, cosmic radiation and ions. On the other hand, it has poor resistance to abrasion and petroleum products.
