To obtain greater tensile strength in rubbers, fillers are added with a resultant loss in its ability to
elongate. K•Prene® has both high tensile stress properties and high elongations, even in the harder
grades. K•Prene® has far greater load bearing capacity than do conventional elastomers of
comparable hardness which is an important advantage in many areas such as metalworking dies,
shock mounts and springs.

K•Prene® has a far greater load-bearing capacity than

do conventional elastomers of comparable hardness,
which permits the design of smaller parts with savings
in weight and material cost. The graph (to the right)
compares the compressive stresses required to deflect
samples of the four standard grades of K•Prene® by
up to 50%. When selecting K•Prene® urethane for
certain applications such as metal forming, major
consideration should be given to two factors: Shape
Factor and the Modulus of Elasticity.
