Ethylene Acrylic Rubber Compound
The AEM rubber compound, also known as Ethylene Acrylic Elastomer, is a type of specialty rubber that is known for its excellent heat aging characteristics and vibration dampening abilities. Its key features include good dynamic property retention over a wide temperature range, making it ideal for applications that require exposure to high temperatures or extreme weather conditions.
While it has moderate resistance to petroleum oils, it's not the best choice for environments with constant exposure to such substances. The AEM rubber compound is commonly used in various industries, including automotive for making heat-resistant components, construction for weather-resistant seals and joint fillers, and the electrical industry for cable jackets and wire insulation.
1. Exceptional resistance to varying weather conditions
2. Outstanding resistance to ozone
3. Superior thermal stability
4. Admirable resistance to low temperatures

Primarily, AEM is utilized in the automotive industry for the creation of high-temperature oil seals, extreme pressure oil seals, transmission seals, and piston rod seals. It presents a cost-effective alternative to fluorine rubber for various applications within this sector. In the electrical industry, it serves as a suitable replacement for silicone rubber, producing high-temperature, oil-resistant wires, cables, and gaskets. Additionally, AEM is employed in the production of container linings and oil-resistant products used in petroleum exploration, as well as special hoses and tapes.
