TH Rubber

Share to：

TH rubber, a specific fluoroelastomer polymer (FPM), was introduced into the aerospace industry in 1957 to fulfill its needs for a high-performance elastomer.

Following its introduction, the usage of TH spread quickly to other industries including the automotive, appliance, chemical and fluid power industries. TH has a strong reputation as a high-performance elastomer in very hot and extremely corrosive environments. TH was also the first fluoroelastomer to obtain worldwide ISO 9000 registration.

TH is a registered trademark of DuPont Performance Elastomers.

TH performance reliability under extreme exposure conditions makes it an attractive material to use in many demanding applications, such as the aerospace and aircraft service industries. TH is also the polymer of choice for many of today's advanced fuel and engine systems.

For example, TH O-rings with a service temp. of -45°C to +275°C will also resist the effects of thermal cycling, which are encountered during the rapid ascent and descent of aircraft from the stratosphere.
