When choosing the right elastomeric materials for cushioning, sealing and gasketing, there are a number of factors to consider. Compression strength, chemistries and environmental conditions are just a few. That’s why it takes a special combination of analysis, problem-solving and old-fashioned,
real-world experience to identify the best material for a custom project.
Tap the experts at ABLE. Our preferred partnerships with Saint-Gobain and Rogers Corporation equip us to help you find the best selection that achieves the balance between performance and value.
BISCO Silicone is valued for proven abilities to resist high temperatures, UV exposures and ozone. With an excellent compression set and creep resistance, it’s a durable choice to stand up to tough conditions. BISCO Silicone is used in cushioning, flame barrier, gasketing and sealing, sound-proofing, LCD gaskets and more.
This microcellular material offers soft-cushioning support that makes it ideal for medical applications. The PORON® line of medical polyurethanes has a low-compression set and resists microbial growth, making these ideal for orthopedic and prosthetic applications.
COHRlastic is Saint-Gobain’s line of high-performance silicones. It endures sustained exposures to high heat (up 500 degrees Fahrenheit). Its excellent thermal stability and compression set, resistance to water and solvents, and long service life are just some of the ways in which COHRlastic outperforms just about any other elastomeric material.
ABLE was founded by Harold H. Martinez in 1974. He later explained that by naming the company “ABLE”. He wanted to convey his mindset to daily life and business. “ABLE” means skill, competence, and talent. That is precisely what he intended to deliver to his customers.
