Results for tag: "Acrylic Rubber"

Acrylic rubber, or ACM (acrylate rubber), is a type of synthetic rubber primarily composed of alkyl acrylate compounds with other monomers. It is characterized by its excellent resistance to hot oil and oxidation. Its main application is in the automotive industry for seals, gaskets, hoses, and other components that must withstand harsh environments including exposure to high temperatures, oils, and ultraviolet light. The material can be found in various goods from automotive parts to adhesives, and its usage is influenced by the prevailing automotive trends and technological advancements in materials. Compared to other rubbers, acrylic rubber is not as resistant to water or weathering, and as such, it's less suitable in conditions where these are primary factors. The production and development of ACM closely follow the increasing demands for materials that cater to specialized industrial needs, including the automotive sector's push for longer-lasting and more durable components. In this respect, the acrylic rubber market operates as a niche but an essential segment of the broader rubber industry. Several companies in the acrylic rubber market include Zeon Corporation, NOK Corporation, Trelleborg AB, and Haiba Rubber & Plastic Products Co., Ltd. These players are involved in the manufacturing and distribution of ACM products, focusing on the continuous improvement of material properties to meet industry-specific requirements.
