Material Data Sheet

Product: .023” thick PMCTPE-45

Description: A thermoplastic elastomer with matt finish. Has good flexibility, good sealing characteristics, excellent co-efficient of friction, excellent heat resistance, and good fluid resistance.

Potential applications:

Ø When laminated to foam, this material makes an excellent non-slip pad for marine applications.

Ø Gaskets

Ø Non-slip surfaces for household step stools, ladders, etc.

Ø Non-slip surface for automotive aftermarket applications (running boards, cargo area trays in SUV’s, etc).
