Lexington can help its customers choose the optimal material for their specific application. We can either select a material from our existing library of formulas or develop a new formula.

Our goal is to create the material that meets all of the required performance characteristics at the lowest possible cost. It is also important to pick a material that has good molding characteristics so that the component can be molded efficiently and without inherent quality problems.


Our expert chemists have a wealth of knowledge about bromobutyl, chlorobutyl, EPDM, fluorosilicone, nitrile, polyisoprene, polyurethane, silicone, and other elastomers.
