Elastomers are used in industries because of their durability. They can withstand scratches, attacks of corrosion from different chemicals, and the averages of humidity and water submersion. And because elastomers do not conduct electri­cal current, they are very good electronic insula­tors. One other advantage of elastomers is that they add strength to some specific characteristics.

Elastomers can also be easily installed with other materials such as hard plastic, metal, and other kinds of rubber, with outstanding adherence. Elastomers have the capability of crosslink­ing which means that different chains of polymer molecules have all been linked together making it possible of being stretched and return to their original form and arrangement.
