Ethylene-acrylic elastomer (AEM)

What is ethylene acrylic elastomer (AEM/AECM)?

The AEM is a co-polymer of ethylene, acrylate and a cross-linking carboxyl group. The ethylene unit forms the soft segmet. The rubber can be peroxidically crosslinked via the carboxyl group

be crosslinked. The rubber has high mechanical properties as well as good resistance to heat, oxygen and ozone. However, mineral oil resistance decreases compared to polyacrylate rubbers.
