What Is Durometer?
Durometer is a number used to identify the hardness of a rubber or plastic material. The measurement, in Shore A or D scale, tells us how stiff and resistant you want your part to be. For example, a rubber extrusion on the low end would be soft and able to bend. On the high end, the extrusion would be stiff and resistant to movement. Durometer is a very important measurement that allows us to make your part exactly the way you want it.
