Sarlink advantages over thermoset rubber:

no compounding
no vulcanization
lower capital investment
easy processing on standard thermoplastic equipment for extrusion, injection and blow molding.
fast processing (short cycle times)
thermal stability/wide processing window
low energy consumption
scrap generated during processing can be recycled
excellent control of product quality and dimensional tolerances
in-line colorability
easy weldability (profiles, sheeting...)
combinable with other materials by co-extrusion, co-injection, or co-blow molding to produce hard/soft products, solid/sponge profiles
