Properties
Epichlorohydrins are oil resistant compounds that are available in homomer (CO), copolymer (ECO), and terpolymer (GECO) formats. This elastomer features low solvent and gas permeability; excellent resistance to ozone and weathering; and excellent resistance to hydrocarbon oils and fuels. The compound is very stable through fluctuating temperature applications.
Applications
Typical Applications for Epichlorohydrins are ideally used in the oil and gas industry where a little higher temperature capability than Nitrile is required. The compound is also used for fuel and air conditioning system components. Limitations: At elevated temperatures (250° to 275°F), Epichlorohydrin features only fair compression set properties. The compound possesses low resistance to ketones, ester, aldehydes, chlorinated and nitro hydrocarbons.
