ECO Rubber vs. PPE
ECO rubber belongs to the thermoset elastomers (rubber) classification, while PPE belongs to the thermoplastics. There are 10 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (17, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is ECO rubber and the bottom bar is PPE.
