5. REACH and thermoplastic rubbers/elastomers

There are two main families of highly elastic materials: natural and synthetic rubbers, and thermoplastic elastomers.

5.1 Natural and synthetic rubbers

Raw [AM 8 010] rubbers (see table 2 at the end of this article) are not, in the majority of cases, ready-to-use materials, but must be formulated to meet the requirements of a specific application. Depending on the application, these materials contain from 20 to 70% polymers, the remainder being made up of varying quantities of fillers, plasticizer(s), vulcanizing agents such...
