  • Low dynamic magnification type with low frequency dependence of elastic modulus E’.
  • Hardness range from 40 to 70 (Durometer A)

Product Information

Key Points

Use For molding
Molding method Press molding, peroxide curing
Features Vibration proofing (low dynamic magnification), fatigue durability
Industry Automotive, transportation, railways, general industry

Application

FF joint boots such as muffler hangers for automobiles, engine mounts, suspension bushes, etc., and other parts that absorb and block the vibration of engines transmitted to the car body.

Expected Results

  • Low dynamic magnification
    ⇒Can be used over a wide temperature range, which is difficult with organic rubbers.
  • High fatigue durability ⇒ Improved life against repeated stress
