AKRON (Jan. 28, 2008) — ExxonMobil Chemical Co. has added a design tool to its database of free online technical information. The "compression stress relaxation database" helps predict how Santoprene thermoplastic vulcanizates perform initially and at any time during the expected life of the part. The compression stress relaxation data is available at different temperatures for the TPV sealing grades.
Designers can access the database at www.santoprene.com/design their part.
