Polyacrylate Elastomer in Sealing Application and Alternative for Ethylene Acrylate with ZEON Chemicals
Polyacrylate elastomer (ACM) and ethylene acrylate are high heat and oil resistance polymers that have been used in automotive and industrial engine sealing applications for decades. Recent supply issues of AEM have generated further interest in ACM as a replacement for AEM. This presentation will highlight the technical performance of ACM in sealing applications and demonstrate the global production and supply of ZEON’s ACM product lines.
Presenter: Mark Nevitt, ZEON Chemicals
Warehouse Racking Systems with Global O-Ring and Seal
Planning and implementing an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) can be a difficult task, but if done correctly, it can set your business up for growth and save you money in the long run.
