Compounds were injected on a vertical REP injection molding machine into large CS button

cavities.

Cure time was determined as minimum time to obtain blister-free vulcanisate & no deformation of parts demolded.

O-Ring DemoldingTrials

• Specially designed, self deflashing 120 cavity compression mold• Cavities arranged in 2 sets of 60 to permit side by side demolding

evaluations• O-ring cavities with high surface area to promote demolding

difficulties

• Barwell extruder to make rod pre-form• Loading frame to position pre-form

• Air line to blow parts off mold (no physical contact)

Test Conditions:• Mold is cleaned thoroughly before testing

• Mold pressure = 110 bars• Mold temperature = 190°C

• Cure time = 90 seconds• Mold is not cleaned during test

- No. of O-rings sticking to the mold is counted & reported

Exhaust Gas Condensate Tests

Some OEMs have specified their EGC.

We have tested AEM and ACM in such Condensates, in closed Lab Autoclaves,

filled 50% with Condensates

Two sets of specimen are tested in the autoclavs:

liquid phase & gas phase

Compounds of Vamac® have been successfully used for many years in applications in

contact with Blow-By condensates. New environmental regulations that have to be met with EURO V and VI will make exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) necessary. In some areas, higher acid levels from exhaust gas

condensates (EGC) may be expected.

All AEM grades show excellent retention of properties and low

volume swell in every condition.

ACM shows high property loss and volume swell when totally

immersed in the liquid phase.

Samples kept in the gas phase also show significant impact

caused by the EGC even at 90°C.

New test specifications include elastomer testing in Oil / Fuel blends, very often in a 90% /

10% blending ratio. Fuels comprise biofuels like Ethanol.

2K Molding

Zytel® FE 270056/ Vamac® Ultra IP specimen(2.5 mm/2.5mm thickness) made with 2K technology

Engel injection press model ES 500H 200L /175 HL-2F

Direct overmolding of thermoplastic parts by elastomers is a growing area of applications.DuPont developed a special PA66 with 35% glass fibre suitable for engine applications that

bonds to Vamac® polymers without need for a bonding promoter���� Zytel® FE 270056

Tests on 2 K equipment were run in our Technical Centre.

Vamac® Ultra based compounds were run in automatic demolding mode with cure times of < 45 seconds

� New, high viscosity AEM Ultra polymers offer significant advantages compared to standard Vamac® grades

� High compound viscosity and longer Scorch times allow for better dispersion and may cut mixing cycle ���� one-pass mix

� Faster Cure and cleaner molding processes

� Higher viscosity and faster cure allow for more compounding possibilities

� Better physical properties open new opportunities

� Tensile, Elongation, Tear, Heat Resistance � high T, high pressure hoses (power

steering?)

� Abrasion Resistance � Shaft Seals

� Faster cure � better suitable for combinations with thermoplastic parts

� Bright/Colored Compounds with better processing and properties

� Good Blow-By and Exhaust Gas Condensate Resistance make standard Vamac® and Ultra grades a good candidate for exhaust recycling loops

� Blending of Ultra Grades with standard grades may be possible at variuosratios for optimum price/performance ratio

�More polymer developments ongoing
