The elastic modulus is the ratio of stress over strain and is a measure of the resistance to elastic deformation. Silicone rubber gaskets require large elongation to fill gaps, but also high modulus to maintain their shape and form and strength. All Hylomar silicones are high modulus. Cheaper silicones filled with fillers typically have lower modulus.
