Epichlorohydrin rubber (ECO)
Epichlodohydrin rubber unifies the good characteristics pertaining to mineral oil resistance and the low pressure permanent set of the NBR rubber with a good weather and ozone resistance. ECO mixtures need relatively long vulcanization times. Usually tempering of the vulcanized parts is necessary.
ECO is for Shore-hardness Shore A 40-90 available.
Areas of application: Seals, membranes, hoses and roll coverings. Use above all everywhere where good mineral oil resistance and at the same time good weather and ozone resistance are required.
