The FARRPRENE range covers 48 thermoplastic elastomer compounds spanning 15 to 90 Shore A and 40 to 52 Shore D, in injection and extrusion grades and in unfilled (translucent) or filled (natural) variants. The table below lists every published property for every grade: hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, melt flow index at both test conditions (230°C/5 kg and 190°C/5 kg), specific gravity, appearance and stabilisation. All grades are manufactured by Farr Polychem in Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, and can be colour-matched to a customer reference.
Two durometer scales. Shore A and Shore D are different scales and are not directly comparable - a compound at 40 Shore D is harder than one at 90 Shore A. The grades below are therefore listed as Shore A first, then Shore D, each ordered by its own reading, rather than merged into a single ranking.SHORE A: 46 GRADESSHORE D: 2 GRADES

Typical average values from a limited sample set; not a formal specification. Request the signed datasheet for current values. Recommendations elsewhere on this site are made on mechanical fit only - food contact, skin contact, flame retardancy, halogen-free and electrical performance require a separately qualified compound.
