This material has excellent resistance to hydrocarbon oils, fuels and ozone.
High temperature resistance is good, but compression set at 135C is only fair. This property, plus the corrosive nature of epichlorohydrin are limiting factors in some applications. Used for hoses, seals, o-rings, gaskets, diaphragms, and printing rollers.
Advantages: Resistant to ozone, weathering and oils; good heat resistance; very low permeability to gasses; flame retardant.
Limitations: Electrically conductive; relatively expensive; low resilience; can be corrosive.
