Shore Durometer
Shore A
- Applicable to normal rubber, synthetic rubber, soft rubber, polyresin (resin), wax, etc.
- For low, medium, and high hardness levels
- Stress at the end of pointer: 0.55 N - 8.06 N
- 0 – 100 HA
- 0.5 HA

Shore C
- Applies to rubber and contains the tiny hole material that the vesicant is made for being used in plastics
- For testing the hardness of shoe-making porous materials made by vesicants within plastics when the compression rate is 50 % and stress is beyond 0.049 MPa.
