Isolast is a perfluoroelastomer, developed to meet the needs of companies requiring sealing materials with the elasticity of a conventional elastomer, but with the chemical resistance of PTFE (polytetrafluoroeten) and able to cope with uninterrupted use at temperatures of as much as 325ºC. Isolast formulas are developed internally in collaboration with polymer suppliers, and Isolast is manufactured and moulded
in-house.

As the Korean and Asian markets continue to expand rapidly, SABIC Innovative Plastics has announced that it is to open a major production line at its Chung-Ju facility in Korea.
