Vamac® Ethylene Acrylic Elastomers (AEM) can be made into cured compounds that have excellent resistance to high temperatures and good resistance to automotive fluids such as transmission fluids, engine oils, coolants, acidic condensates, urea solution, greases and new E-fluids.
The low-temperature performance of Vamac® AEM surpasses that of most other heat and oil-resistant polymers. Typical compounds meet OEM specifications for performance at –40 °C. Vamac® AEM compounds can be designed to meet end-use requirements as low as –50 °C.
End products based on Vamac® AEM have excellent resistance to hot oils and hydrocarbon- or glycol-based lubricants, transmission fluids and power steering fluids. Low oil swell can be obtained with proper Vamac® AEM grade selection and compounding. Vamac® AEM shows good retention of properties and low permeation in new fluids for E-mobility (E-motor, E-transmission, Power electronics) and with dielectric fluids used to cool batteries.
