Hayakawa and JAEA Launch Nuclear Radiation-resistant Rubber.Tokyo, Japan, Sept 15, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Hayakawa Rubber Co., Ltd. and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (日本原子力研究開発機構 today launched a superior nuclear radiation-resistant rubber that can be used for many purposes. The rubber was made by adding additives to EPDM EPDM Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer EPDM Enterprise Product Data Management EPDM Ethylene Propylene Dimonomer (industrial/commercial piping/plumbing components) EPDM Engineering Product Data Management copolymers such as ethylene, propylene propylene /pro·pyl·ene/ (pro´pi-len) a gaseous hydrocarbon, CH3CHdbondCH2. propylene glycol a colorless viscous liquid used as a humectant and solvent in pharmaceutical preparations. and dien to form a highly durable rubber material that can maintain its elastic function with a radiation absorption dose of over 9MGy. Feasibility tests of the rubber as a connector seal for proton accelerator cooling water-pipe and as an airproof seal for vacuum apparati are currently underway.
