Market Overview:
The Global Cast Elastomer Market size is expected to grow from USD 1.28 Billion in 2022 to USD 1.66 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.3% during the forecast period (2023-2030).
Cast elastomers are a type of material that has properties similar to natural and synthetic rubbers. They are made from polyether and/or polyester and offer excellent physical properties like abrasion resistance, load-bearing capacity, tensile strength, and tear resistance. Cast elastomers are known for their ability to withstand wear and tear, absorb impact, and resist oil and grease. They are used in various applications such as slide plates, bearings, shock absorbers, bumpers, and wear strips. Compared to plastics, rubber, and metals, cast elastomers have a longer lifespan and provide better performance. There are two types of cast elastomers: hot cast and cold cast.
