Epichlorohydrin

 
A synthetic rubber designed for more extreme heat and oil resistance applications. Best described as a "super" Nitrile.


Properties
very good high temperature resistance, up to 150°C
good low temperature properties
good ozone resistance

Limitations
expensive
may require higher cost tooling
relatively low physical strength

Typical Applications
automotive applications such as fuel systems
printing rollers
