Elastomers and Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)

1.1 Introduction

Due to the virtually limitless combination of elastomer types, fillers and additives that can be compounded, a huge variety of elastomeric materials are available for almost any application requiring elastomeric properties. For this reason, it is very unlikely that there will be bond strength data for every adhesive/elastomer combination.

This chapter is designed to give some general guidelines for 20 different families of elastomers using four different generic adhesive types.

This chapter focuses entirely on bonding vulcanised rubber and makes no mention of bonding agents used during the vulcanisation process. The ‘Handbook of Rubber Bonding’ [1] is recommended for further reading on this subject.
