Zeon Chemicals Commercializes Nipol® AR12 Polyacrylate Elastomer
Zeon Chemicals announced at the 158th meeting of the American Chemical Society, Rubber Division that it has commercialized a new low-temperature polyacrylate (ACM) elastomer – Nipol® AR12. Polymerized using newly developed curesite technology, Nipol AR12 provides significant improvements in compression set, sealing force retention, and long-term physical property retention versus traditional polyacrylates and ethylene-acrylates (AEM). At 150°C, Nipol AR12 has shown to retain sealing force in excess of 4000 hrs in SF-105 synthetic oil while swelling less than 15%. Nipol AR12 is ideally suited for injection and compression molded automotive parts including engine and transmission seals and gaskets.
Zeon Chemicals L.P. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zeon Corporation of Tokyo, Japan, a world leader in specialty elastomers, polymers, and specialty chemicals. Zeon Corporation is one of the top producers of polymers in the world with plants in Asia, North America, and Europe, and Research & Development laboratories in Kawasaki (Japan), Louisville (KY, USA), and Barry (UK).
