Temperature & Rubber Performance
Home ⇒ Solution ⇒ Temperature & Rubber Performance
1. NBR (Nitrile Rubber)
Working Temperature: -30°C to +120°C
High Temperature Effects:
Above 120°C, acrylonitrile groups degrade, causing hardening, brittleness, and reduced abrasion resistance.
Prolonged exposure (>150°C) leads to molecular chain breakage, swelling, or delamination.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -30°C, crystallization occurs, resulting in loss of elasticity and crack formation.
2. EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer)
Working Temperature: -50°C to +150°C
High Temperature Effects:
Exceeding 150°C causes C-C bond fractures, increasing permanent deformation.
Accelerated oxidation leads to surface cracking.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -50°C, molecular chains freeze, significantly reducing impact resistance.
3. FKM (Fluoroelastomer)
Working Temperature: -20°C to +200°C
High Temperature Effects:
Above 200°C, Si-O bonds decompose, reducing chemical resistance.
Excessive heat causes scorching and bubble formation.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -20°C, elastic modulus rises sharply, compromising sealing performance.
4. Nylon Rubber
Working Temperature: -40°C to +100°C
High Temperature Effects:
Above 100°C, amide bonds hydrolyze, reducing strength by >50%.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -40°C, increased chain rigidity causes brittleness and fractures.
5. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
Working Temperature: -10°C to +60°C
High Temperature Effects:
Above 60°C, plasticizer migration leads to brittleness.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -10°C, glass transition occurs, eliminating impact resistance.
6. PP (Polypropylene)
Working Temperature: 0°C to +100°C
High Temperature Effects:
Exceeding 100°C reduces crystallinity, increasing creep.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below 0°C, brittleness rises, promoting stress cracks.
7. PA66 (Nylon 66)
Working Temperature: -40°C to +120°C
High Temperature Effects:
Above 120°C, water absorption increases, degrading dimensional stability.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -40°C, toughness declines, enhancing notch sensitivity.
8. ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
Working Temperature: -20°C to +80°C
High Temperature Effects:
Above 80°C, butadiene phase softens, reducing impact resistance.
Low Temperature Effects:
Below -20°C, styrene phase becomes brittle, prone to fractures.
Wide temperature range adaptability
The temperature resistance range of special formula rubber can reach -40 ℃~120 ℃, and it maintains stable performance even in extreme environments.
