Epichlorohydrin rubber (ECO)

Epichlorohydrin rubber (ECO) combines the good properties of NBR rubber with regard to

- mineral oil resistance and

- the low compression set

with good weather and ozone resistance.

Disadvantage: ECO mixtures require relatively long vulcanization times. In addition, post-curing of the vulcanized parts is usually necessary.

Temperature range : -40 to +120°C

Applications: ECO is mainly used for seals, membranes, hoses and roller covers when good mineral oil resistance and at the same time good weather and ozone resistance are required.

Disposal

According to the “Regulation on the European Waste Catalogue (AVV)”, the waste product from ECO can be classified according to Chapter 7 “Wastes from organic chemical processes” and the waste code 07 02 99. This waste code stands for waste classified as non-hazardous.

They can therefore be disposed of in normal household quantities with normal household waste. Please use the container provided by your public waste disposal authority for residual waste as the appropriate disposal container.
