Material Properties The properties of a dip molding depend on the grade of material selected and the component design. The best characteristics cannot necessarily be incorporated in any one grade, but tests covering the range of grades show the following results:
Durometer Hardness:	Shore A, 35-96 ±2
Tensile Strength:	1500 PSI to 2800 PSI ±200 PSI
Tear Strength:	120 PPI to 500 PPI ±30 PPI
Low Temperature:	Flex temperature to -65¡F (-54¡C)
High Temperature:	Continuous operation to 240¡F (116¡C)
Ultimate Elongation:	300% to 400% ±40%
Dielectric Strength:	300 volts/mil to 650 volts/mil ±50 volts/mil
Burning Characteristics:	Many grades meet the Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandard #302, The Bureau of Mines, ASTM-E162 and other specification requirements.
PVC dip moldings have high resistance to a wide range of chemical reagents, attack by sunlight, color migration and resistance to oils, greases and gasoline.
