Acrylic rubber, a specialty rubber that uses alkyl acrylate as a primary component, affords outstanding resistance to heat, oil (lubricants) and weather. It withstands use over long periods of time at high temperatures of 150 to 175°C, providing outstanding heat resistance at a level just below fluoro-contained rubber and silicone rubber. Therefore, it is used in a wide range of applications, such as hoses, tubes, seals, and gaskets for automobiles and general industrial machinery. A new grade featuring improved heat resistance has been recently developed and is expected to support even more extensive applications in the future.

Characteristics & Applications
Standard polymer of heat resistance, particularly resistant to high and low temperatures and has been used for many years in automobile gaskets, etc.
