Limo – Materialguide

Many materials are used in industry and manufacturing. It can be different types of cellular rubber, abrasion rubber for example. roller coating and cladding or materials that can withstand acids and high temperatures. We have tried to compile the most common materials that we work with in a list below that is also searchable, it is also possible to filter out slightly different properties. These are approximate values ​​and there may be deviations or incorrect values. Limo takes no responsibility for this being 100% correct.
