THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES OF RUBBER
Epichlorhydrin (CO)
The rubber: | Epichlorohydrin offers an excellent balance of properties, combining key properties that are very useful such as high temperature, oil, fuel and ozone resistance. |
Resistance and properties: | Halogated lineair aliphatic polyethers have excellent ageing, oxidation, ozone and hot hydrocarbon oils and hydrocarbons solvants resistancy. |
Downsides: |
CO has poor cold, electrical and wear properties. Epichlorhydrin is not advised in combination with ketones, esters, alcohols, phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, acid gasses, water and steam. Rubber metal adhesion is difficult to achieve. |
Applications: | Applications including epoxies, the textile industry, in airconditioners, oil- and fuelindustry, etc. |
