Overview
EARNESTON™ is high performance thermoplastic elastomer compound based on various kind of elastomers. Various kinds of goods can be made with EARNESTON™ using conventional molding methods for thermoplastic resins (e.g., injection molding, extrusion and blow molding) without complicated vulcanizing process. It is possible to replace vulcanized rubber. This safe material is free from substances such as sulfur and chlorine. It is also environmentally friendly.
