As all other Tecnoflon^® peroxide curable grades, it exhibits excellent processability; moreover it needs very short post-curing cycles.

Some of the basic properties of Tecnoflon^® PL 458 are:

- Excellent low temperature flexibility

- Low volume swell in methanol-based fuels

- Low post cure

- Superior mold flow

- Lack of mold fouling
