 for automotive boots, bellows bellows, expansible, gas-tight chamber used to pump or store a gas. One of the simplest and most familiar types of bellows is the manual one used for providing a forced draft to a fire. The expansible chamber consists of a leather bag with pleated sides. , and ducts withstands temperatures up to 175 C (347 F) while retaining softness and flexibility. Zeotherm 120-90B from Zeon Chemicals. Louisville, Ky., eliminates the need for heat shields and avoids the use of more costly silicone silicone, polymer in which atoms of silicon and oxygen alternate in a chain; various organic radicals, such as the methyl group, CH3, are bound to the silicon atoms.  or ethylene-acrylic rubber boots. Zeotherm is based on Zeon's polyacrylate rubber in a nylon matrix. It has a hardness of 90 Shore A.

Testing reportedly shows that boots molded of Zeotherm 120-90B survive higher speed rotation and higher temperatures than copolyester TPEs. In addition, the material has better resistance to aggressive greases than HTR-series copolyester. Versus EPDM/PPTPVs, the material has better heat resistance and superior grease grease, mixture of lubricant and thickener. It is used to reduce friction between surfaces from which oils would leak away or cause damage by dripping, or where lubrication must be assured for extended periods. Many greases are mixtures of mineral oil and soap.  resistance. It has been adapted for use on a wide range of blow molding equipment used for automotive boot and air duct production.
