Mechanical properties of Vulkollan®

Vulkollan - the elastic material with an unsurpassed performance profile:

Variable hardness Vulkollan can be produced in hardness grades ranging from Shore A 65 to Shore D 78. The E-modulus ranges from approx. 10 to 630 MPa.



Permanent elasticity High deformations and load changes are possible.



Damping
Good damping behaviour - combined with the other physical properties (e.g. E-modulus) - makes Vulkollan the idea material for anti-vibration elements.



Torsional vibration
Vulkollan displays a constant and even elastic behaviour in a wide temperature range.



Rebound resilience Vulkollan boasts high rebound resilience in all hardness grades. Even with hardnesses of over 95 Shore A, values of over 55% are still reached.



Permanent deformation The low permanent deformation of Vulkollan is a decisive factor behind its successful use for items such as damping and sealing elements.



Intitial tearing and tear-growth resistance Vulkollan features excellent tear-growth resistance, which can be more than 100 kN/m for some types.



Resistance to wear
Vulkollan's high resistance to wear ensures a long service life for expensive capital investments even under the harshest abrasive loads.
