Abstract
A device includes an elastomer component that has a molecular scaffold. The molecular scaffold defines interstitial spaces. The component is impregnated with a vegetable oil carrying a fatty acid amide to impart a lubrication to the component and thereby impart a resistance to adhering to a surface of the component. In an illustrative device, a valve includes an elastomeric member that includes a vegetable oil and a fatty acid amide. A method for manufacturing such a device and a precursor for use in manufacturing are also disclosed.
