Santoprene is a thermoplastic, a blend of rubber and plastic—that combines the elasticity of rubber with the processability and durability of thermoplastics. Santoprene diaphragms are commonly used in air-operated double diaphragm (AODD) pumps, valves, and other fluid-handling systems due to their long flex life, abrasion resistance, and chemical tolerance. They are ideal for handling a wide range of fluids, including water, acids, bases, slurries, and some mild solvents, making them a popular general-purpose diaphragm material.
