Properties
Chloropropylene oxide rubbers have several options available: monopolymer (CO), *** polymer (ECO), and ternary *** polymer (GECO).
All epichlorohydrin rubbers have excellent airtightness and maintain excellent oil resistance over a wide range of temperatures, making them an effective alternative to butyl rubber (IIR) in environments where not only airtightness but also oil resistance are required. Epichlorohydrin rubber is also commonly used in the petroleum industry where heat resistance requirements are higher than those of nitrile rubber (NBR).
Advantages
. Good resistance to ozone, weathering and oils
. Good heat resistance (better than NBR)
Good air tightness
Disadvantages
. The raw material formulations of epichlorohydrin rubbers are difficult to manufacture because of the corrosive nature of the equipment
. High temperatures (120° to 135°C , 250° to 275°F) compression set is only "fair"
°C -55° to 125°C Special formulations -55° to 150°C
°F -67° to 257°F Special formulations -67° to 302°F
