As the manufacturer will you tell us what elastomeric material (rubber) is used? Is it inherently UV stable or is a UV additive used? Is it compression molded in the final shape? Or is another process used? Have the parts and/or cured molding compound been subjected to accelerated weathering?

I realize that these questions are very technical but given the poor lifetime of "rubber" parts would like to know that my $$$ will get me a very long lasting part. Have too many "rubber" parts that have shrunk, cracked, chalked or otherwise deteriorated.

We are very proud of our mats, so far they have been in use over 5 years, with no bad effects, the composit of the mats are not aval at this time,other then they are UV res,also we would like to inform those in warm states, not to mix up the adheasive all at one, and to put it in the frig for a hour or so befor use, this will give you more time to work with it.
