Tab Gate
A small removable tab about the same thickness as the molded item but usually perpendicular to it for easy removal
Tack
The degree of adhesion of materials of identical nature to each other
Tear Resistance
Resistance to the growth of a cut in the seal when tension is applied
Tear Strength
The force required to rupture a sample of stated geometry
Tear Trim
A designed in feature on a mold which allows easy and precise tear off of overflow bead
Temperature Range
The working range marked by the limits of minimum and maximum operating temperatures for effective seal performance
Tensile Strength
the extension force per cross-sectional area required to fracture a material specimen
Terpolymer
A polymer resulting from the chemical combination of three monomers
TFE
Polytetrafluoroethylene
Thermal Expansion
Linear or volumetric expansion caused by temperature increases
Thermoplastic
A material which when thermally processes undergoes a reversible phase change to become plastic and capable of being molded to a desired shape. Upon cooling, the material reverts to its original properties
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)
A material which combines the processing characteristics of a plastic but displays rubber-like properties upon completion of processing
