Farida Nasr

Farida Nasr covers rubber compounding and industrial elastomer products, including EPDM, NBR, neoprene and silicone compounds, O-rings, gaskets, seal strips and hose linings. Her coverage ties cure state, Shore A hardness, ASTM D395 compression set and ASTM D412 tension results to stated temperature and chemical exposure conditions rather than single-value limits. She helps compound developers, seal design engineers, quality teams and sourcing managers judge formulation trade-offs, supplier evidence and application fit before a material is released to production.
