1.  For the purpose of this chapter, the term "elastomeric"                                         
    means a plastics material which after cross-linking can be                                      
    stretched at 20 degrees C to least three times its original                                     
    length and that, after having been stretched to twice its                                       
    original length and the stress removed, returns within five                                     
    minutes to less than 150 percent of its original length.                                        
    Elastomeric plastics may also contain fillers, extenders,                                       
    pigments or rubber- processing chemicals, whether or or not                                     
    such plastics material, after the addition of such fillers,                                     
    extenders, pigments or chemicals, can meet the tests                                            
    specified in the first part of this note.
