Materials & Forms

Engineered from the Inside Out

Every Polycorp product begins with a material engineered for performance. We combine decades of elastomer science with precision manufacturing to create solutions that protect, seal, and endure in demanding industrial environments. Our materials are developed to meet defined parameters, including: chemical resistance, abrasion & impact resistance, extreme temperatures, flexibility, and bonding strength, ensuring consistent reliability from formulation to field use.

Material Expertise

Where Material Science Meets Application Engineering
Our expertise extends beyond product design. Polycorp engineers and chemists collaborate to tailor elastomer formulations for precise performance requirements—balancing hardness, elasticity, adhesion, and environmental durability.

Materials designed with precision. Performance proven in the field.

Elastomer Types & Capabilities

Formulated for Performance, Built for Purpose
Polycorp engineers work with a broad spectrum of natural and synthetic elastomers to meet the exact performance requirements of each application. Our compounding capabilities allow precise control over hardness, elasticity, and chemical compatibility—ensuring the right balance of strength and flexibility for every environment.

Common elastomer types include:

  • Natural Rubber (NR) – outstanding resilience and abrasion resistance for mining and mill liners.
  • Neoprene (CR) – excellent weathering, moderate chemical resistance, and flexibility across temperature ranges.
  • Nitrile (NBR) – oil, fuel, and hydrocarbon resistance for energy and chemical service.
  • EPDM – superior performance in steam, hot water, and chemical environments.
  • Butyl & Chlorobutyl – gas impermeability and chemical stability in containment and lining systems.
  • Chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) – with outstanding resistance to chemicals, temperature extremes, and ultraviolet light

Additional proprietary and composite constructions—such as Triflex™, PolyStl™, PolyKombo™, and PolyBlok™ —that extend performance into applications requiring extreme impact resistance, structural reinforcement, and weather resistance.
