ACM (Polyacrylate Rubber)
- Application
- ICE / Motor
- Solution
- Sustainability
ACM (Polyacrylate Rubber) is a synthetic rubber with a backbone consisting primarily of alkyl acrylate. ACM offers exceptional resistance to heat, lubricants, and weather (ozone), and it can withstand high temperatures, from 150°C to 175°C. Additionally, it is widely used for hoses, seals, and gaskets.
Zeon can supply ACM as a sustainable product that uses biomass-derived bio-ethanol as the raw material for ethyl acrylate, one of the monomers that constitutes ACM.
Characteristics
- Heat Resistance
- ACM can withstand high temperature, from 150°C to 175°C.
- Lubricant Resistance
- ACM is resistant to lubricants such as automatic transmission fluid.
- Weather and Ozone Resistance
- ACM excels in ozone resistance due to the absence of a double bond in its main chain.
- Sustainable Product
- Biomass-derived bio-ethanol is used as the raw material for ethyl acrylate, one of the monomers that constitutes ACM.
Typical Applications
- O-Rings, Gaskets, and Oil Seals
- Oil Hoses
- Charged-Air Cooler Hoses
