Thermoplastic PI vs. EA Rubber
Thermoplastic PI belongs to the thermoplastics classification, while EA rubber belongs to the thermoset elastomers (rubber). There are 5 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (11, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is thermoplastic PI and the bottom bar is EA rubber.
