Ethylene Acrylic Rubber Compound
Ethylene Acrylic Rubber Compound, also known as AEM (Acrylate Ethylene Acrylic Rubber), is a type of synthetic rubber. It is well-known for its excellent resistance to heat, oil, and ozone.
This compound can withstand prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions, aging, and many types of chemicals. It also exhibits good damping properties and can be easily made flame retardant.
Due to these characteristics, AEM is extensively used in a multitude of industries, including automotive, industrial manufacturing, construction, and more. Its applications range from seals and gaskets to wire and cable insulation, among others.
1. Superior ability to dampen vibrations
2. Exceptional characteristics in terms of heat aging
3. Fair resistance to petroleum oil
4. Effective retention of dynamic properties across a wide range of temperatures
