What is the ACM Rubber ?

ACM rubber, known as Acrylate Rubber Modified, is a synthetic rubber made by the polymerization of acrylate monomers.ACM rubber is usually made by copolymerization of alkyl esters of acrylic acid (e.g., ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, etc.) with other monomers (e.g., ethylene, propylene, etc.)..

  • Resistant to ozone
  • Resistant to silicone oils
  • Resistant to ammonia
  • Resistant to carbon dioxide
  • Resistant to low DPI paraffin based mineral oils
  • Resistant to weathering and sunlight
  • Resistant to water
  • Resistant to silicone greases
  • Resistant to refrigerants
  • Resistant to water solvents at low temps

Chemical structure and synthesis

Monomer: The main monomer of ACM rubber is alkyl acrylate, such as Ethyl Acrylate and Butyl Acrylate.

Copolymerization Monomer: In order to improve the performance, ACM rubber is usually copolymerized with other monomers such as Ethylene and Propylene.

Polymerization method: ACM rubber is usually synthesized by solution polymerization or emulsion polymerization.

Our CBD Seals ACM Compounds information:

Heat resistance: ACM rubber has excellent heat resistance, and can be used for a long time under the high temperature environment from 150°C to 180°C. Some specially formulated ACM rubber can even be used above 200°C.

Oil and chemical resistance: ACM rubber has good resistance to petroleum-based oils, lubricants, fuels and most chemicals.

Weather Resistance: ACM rubber has good UV and ozone resistance for outdoor use.

Mechanical Properties: ACM rubber has good tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance.

Electrical insulation: ACM rubber has good electrical insulation properties, suitable for seals in the electrical and electronic industries.

Processing and vulcanization

Processing method: ACM rubber can be processed by traditional rubber processing methods such as extrusion, calendering, injection molding and molding.

Vulcanization: ACM rubber is usually vulcanized using peroxide as the vulcanizing agent, because peroxide can form free radicals at high temperatures, thus promoting cross-linking between rubber molecules.

Areas of application

Automotive industry: used in the manufacture of high temperature oil seals, O-rings, gaskets, leather bowls, etc.

Industrial: used to manufacture high temperature and oil resistant seals and parts.

Aerospace: for the manufacture of high temperature and chemical resistant seals and parts.

Electrical and electronics: for manufacturing high temperature and oil resistant wire and cable insulation and seals.

Sustainability

Recycling: ACM rubber can be recycled and reused to reduce the impact on the environment. Some advanced recycling technologies can convert waste ACM rubber into new rubber products or other useful materials.

ACM rubber excels in automotive and industrial applications with its excellent heat, oil and chemical resistance.

ACM rubber has advantages over fluorocarbon (FKM) rubber in terms of lower cost and better processability, while fluorocarbon rubber performs better in terms of chemical and heat resistance.

The advantages of ACM rubber over Nitrile (NBR) are better heat and oil resistance, while Nitrile performs better in terms of abrasion resistance and cost effectiveness.
