Useful ranges and selection cautions.

These are family level planning ranges. The selected commercial grade and its current data sheet control the design.

Typical densityAbout 0.91 polymer, higher compounded
ResilienceNR and BR can be excellent
AbrasionStrong by compound
FatigueNR can provide excellent flex fatigue
TemperatureModerate heat range
Oil and ozoneUsually require protection or another family
Dynamic behaviorCompound tuning is essential
Key cautionNatural variability, aging and environmental exposure
