OSE or Olefin Soft Elastomer
OSE (Olefin Soft Elastomer): multi-purpose plastic is relatively environmentally is also easily recycled.It can used in various industrial application. It is very tough. The lightweight material. It has the lightest “specific gravity” making it good for packing and active use. It well in the sun, as long as special stabilizers. OSE (Olefin Soft Elastomer) is also highly resistant to deterioration from chemicals and moisture.
The material is used in speaker surround, car and furniture upholstery, truck liners, indoor/outdoor carpeting, etc.
Properties
• Tough and flexible
• Low density and light weight
• Recyclable for in-process scrap re-use
• Excellent Impact Strength
