ACM
ACM is derived from copolymerization of acrylic esters with monomers.
Compared with other rubber types, with the exception of FKM, ACM vulcanization provide more resistance against the swelling that amaterial complies from animal fats, vegetable oils and mineral oils. However, this particular property of the procedure decreases as the temperature increases.
Properties:
Resistance against heat, oxygen and ozone.
Resistance against oil and fuels.
Good elasticity.
Lower transmittance
Not suitable for operation under water or low temperature.
Areas of Usage:
90% of ACM usage is within the automotive industry.
Usually, this material is used in crankshafts, valves and fuel hoses.
Operating Temperature
Long term: -20C° + 140C°
Short term: -25 C° + 180C°
