IR Rubber vs. PMQ Rubber
Both IR rubber and PMQ rubber are thermoset elastomers (rubber). There are 12 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (1, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is IR rubber and the bottom bar is PMQ rubber.
