9Mpa AEM Rubber Compound
AEM rubber is a specialty type of rubber made from a copolymer of ethylene and methyl acrylate, with a small amount of a third monomer which ensures cross-linking during vulcanization. It was developed to provide improved heat and oil resistance over other types of rubbers.
AEM exhibits excellent long-term aging characteristics and resistance to weathering, ozone, and UV rays. It also has good chemical resistance and electrical properties. It is flexible at low temperatures and does not become excessively stiff under high heat, making it suitable for a wide range of temperature applications.
Additionally, AEM rubber is known for its compatibility with mineral oil-based fluids, water, and diluted acids, among certain other substances. It is commonly used in the automotive industry in the making of components like seals, O-rings, gaskets, and hoses, as well as in other industries for various applications.
However, it is worth noting that AEM rubber isn't compatible with certain substances such as brake fluids, aromatic hydrocarbons, and strong acids.
1. Heat Resistance: AEM rubber has exceptional heat resistance, maintaining its properties and performance even in high temperature environments.
2. Weatherability: It has excellent resistance to elements such as UV rays, ozone, and general weathering, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
3. Oil Resistance: AEM rubber exhibits great resistance to oil and other mineral-based fluids, which is why it's commonly used in the automotive industry.
4. Flexibility: It remains flexible in low temperatures and does not get overly stiff under high heat, making it suitable for a wide range of temperature conditions.

1. Automotive Components: AEM rubber is often used in the manufacture of various automotive parts such as seals, hoses, gaskets, and O-rings due to its resistance to oil and heat.
2. Industrial Seals: In industries where machinery operates under high temperatures or comes into contact with oils, AEM rubber is used to create seals that can withstand these conditions.
3. Wire and Cable Sheathing: Because of its resistance to weathering, UV, and ozone, AEM rubber is often used as a protective sheath for wires and cables, particularly in harsh outdoor conditions.
4. HVAC Systems: AEM rubber's heat resistance and flexibility make it suitable for use in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, particularly for components that need to withstand a wide range of temperatures.
