Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004983
An elastic polymer material used extensively in electrical engineering for insulation and sealing applications. Its high dielectric strength and flexibility make it suitable for protecting wires and components from electrical current and environmental factors. Natural rubber is derived from latex, while synthetic rubbers are produced from petroleum byproducts.
