Elastomers withstand basic, amine-existing environments

With the higher levels of amines found in today?s automotive lubricants, seals and other parts can lose pliability and crack. New Dyneon base-resistant elastomers feature a polymer composition that enables them to withstand those types of demanding conditions found in basic and amine-containing environments. These BREs are safe from amine packages often found in ATF fluids, gear lubricants, engine oils, and other lubricating fluids, while simultaneously offering high temperature resistance and easy processibility similar to that of standard fluoroelastomers. They can be used continuously in temperatures up to 200C (392F). The elastomers also provide good metal adhesion, mold release, and versatility. They are suitable for molding such parts as gaskets, seals, o-rings, and more. Dyneon BREs are said to be priced comparable to standard fluoroelastomers.
