  • Compatibility of Elastomers in Neat Methanol Service
    Compatibility of Elastomers in Neat Methanol Service Elastomers and rubber compounds are widely used in methanol service as O-rings, gaskets, packing, and sealing materials to prevent leakage of methanol liquid and vapors into the surrounding environment. As originally used, the term “rubber” described materials that occurred naturally in nature. The term “elastomer” designated synthetically produced polymers characterized by their elastic properties. The terms are essentially interchangeable in current usage. This bulletin uses the term “elastomer” to indicate synthetic and natural compounds. Elastomer performance is limited by temperature, pressure, and compatibility of the polymer sealing material with chemical properties of the contained fluid. These limitations are important considerations in meeting toxic fluid leakage issues addressed in Chapter VIII of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Process Piping Code, B31.3, and complying with fugitive emission regulations. Elastomer applications typically assume several functional types: O-rings, gaskets, gland seals, and packings. Each functional type requires compounding and forming the polymer into a characteristic geometry necessary to satisfy the function. O-rings are solid circular rings; gaskets are cut from flat material; seals are often composite configurations of polymer and alloys or thermal plastics; packings are typically circular or rectangular ropes. Sealing applications are compressors, pumps, piping connections, valves, and instrumentation elements where the polymers are subject to static or flowing service over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Operating conditions can be constant, fluctuating or cyclical. Polymers that are suitable for one type of service (e.g., O-rings, gaskets, seals or packing) may not be suitable for any another service in spite of the fact that they are exposed to the same chemical.

  • How to Meet the Latest Engine Performance, Emissions and Lightweighting Challenges with Dupont Rigid and Flexible Polymers
    HOW TO MEET THE LATEST ENGINE PERFORMANCE, EMISSIONS AND LIGHTWEIGHTING CHALLENGES WITH DUPONT RIGID AND FLEXIBLE POLYMERS A WHITE PAPER GUIDE FOR DESIGN ENGINEERS AND MATERIAL SPECIFIERS This is an extract from the original. There are many other products/applications to see in the full version… To read the full White Paper, please contact Klaus Bender, Automotive Marketing and Application Development Leader at DuPont: [email protected] Introduction Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction is arguably the most signifi cant challenge faced by car manufacturers today. As CO2 levels in the atmosphere rise, so the bar in global CO2 auto emissions limits is being set lower and lower. Mandatory CO2 emission reduction targets set by European Union legislation required that new cars registered in the EU by 2021 should not emit more than an average of 95 grams CO2 per kilometer (g CO2/km) for the fl eet average of all new cars. The progression of emissions legislation in the USA, Japan and other high car density nations is just as tough. Pressure on auto OEMs to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions from diesel cars is also set to increase in 2018 in the wake of events that throw into question the true pollution level of diesel cars. The emissions control pressures on auto manufacturers, whether for petrol or diesel cars, will thus continue to intensify. It is generally accepted that one of the most eff ective ways to reduce CO2 and NOx emissions is to reduce fuel consumption — and reducing engine size, or “rightsizing”, and vehicle weight are arguably the most eff ective and immediate paths to achieving that goal.
