The Development of a New Heat Resistant ACM Elastomer for Extrusion Applications (Paper No. 60)

摘要

As the space for under-the-hood components has decreased, temperatures in this environment have steadily risen. At the same time, automotive fluids and oils have become more aggressive. These changing environments now require the use of elastomers with greater heat and fluid resistance. Four years ago, Zeon Corporation introduced a new family of heat and oil resistant ACM polymers known throughout the industry as HyTemp Super ACMs. The superiority of these new elastomers over traditional ACM elastomers has been successfully demonstrated in many under-the-hood applications, including valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, rocker cover gaskets and seals. Additional applications that could benefit from these improved properties include hose and air ducts. Today, Zeon Chemicals L.P., your ACM Technology Leader, is proud, to introduce the first in a line of new ACM polymers designed to improve the processability and processing safety of ACMs for use in hose, air-ducts and other various applications to meet the changing needs of the automotive industry.
