The introduction of automotive hydraulic fluids hydraulic fluid

 with low viscosity at low temperature created a need for seals with enhanced sealing capability at low temperature. First generation low-temperature HNBR polymers with 25% and 17% acrylonitrile content (ACN) have good low temperature properties. However, when ACN is reduced to 17%, the mechanical properties decline and volume change increases. In response, the second-generation low-temperature HNBR grades include improvements in low temperature flexibility, improved retention of mechanical properties after aging, compression set and volume swell reduction (ref. 3). This was accomplished by a modification to the polymerization technique and, in the case of the Z-330 and Z-430 grades, an increase in saturation saturation, of an organic compound

Results and discussion

Processing properties

The second-generation low-temperature polymers have a lower polymer Mooney viscosity, as denoted in table 1. As anticipated, compounds based on the new low-temperature HNBR gave lower Mooney viscosity, as illustrated in figure 1. This should translate to improved processability, beneficial for injection molding injection molding

 properties of the new, improved low-temperature HNBR, Z-331 and Z-330 were comparable to the standard low temperature HNBR, Z-311 at the 25% ACN level (table 4). Comparable mechanical properties can be seen with the 17% ACN on the second-generation low temperature polymers, Z-431 and Z430 when compared to the original Z-411 product, as shown in table 4. It is worthy to note the increase in tear strength in all four of the new generation low-temperature polymers when compared to the original low-temperature polymers Z-311 and Z 411 (figure 2). An increase in tear of 10% is seen when comparing the Z-411 compound to the Z-430 compound.

Low temperature performance

The low-temperature properties, such as glass transition (Tg), Gehman and temperature retraction (TR10 through TR70) of HNBR are influenced by the hydrogenation process. This can be explained by Treloar's theory (ref. 1) that the rotation of the polyethylene chains in certain random linkages becomes more difficult than with butadiene units having double bonds in the same random linkages (ref. 1). For simplicity, only the carbon skeleton skeleton, in anatomy

The remaining double bond in the lower chain effectively prevents any close alignment with the other chains. Therefore, the lower the ACN content, the less flexible become the long polyethylene chains. Due to the crystallization Crystallization

The new low temperature grades offer improvement of up to 5[degrees]C, as denoted by the TR-10 and Gehman, as seen in figures 4 and 5.

Low-temperature brittleness measurements are misleading, as they are a poor indicator of low-temperature performance, due in part to the inherent toughness resulting from the crystalline Like a crystal. It implies a uniform structure of molecules in all dimensions. For example, phase change technology, widely used for rewritable optical discs, uses crystalline spots (bits) to reflect the laser beam. Amorphous, non-crystalline bits do not reflect light.  nature of HNBR, as described above. As the higher ACN level of the Z-201 imparts greater toughness, this gave better low-temperature, brittleness results than any of the low-temperature polymers as reflected in figure 6. It should be noted that the newest low-temperature polymers, the 99% saturated grades Z-330 and Z-430, have the best low-temperature brittleness of the low-temperature grades.

[FIGURE 6 OMITTED]

Ozone resistance

The ozone testing performed was dynamic ozone testing. The conditions were 50 pphm at 38[degrees]C with 30% strain. The new generation low-temperature polymers, Z-331 and Z-431, show improved ozone resistance over the first generation polymers (figure 7). This can be explained by the lower modulus values of the new generation polymers when compared to the first generation polymers. The lower stress on the sample at the 30% strain results in improvement in the ozone test results. As would be anticipated, the more fully saturated grades Z-330 and Z-430 showed better resistance to ozone attack than did less saturated low-temperature polymers. Testing was stopped at 648 hours for the samples where no cracking had been observed.

 compression set data (168 hours at 150[degrees]C) indicate better creep resistance with these new low temperature grades. Compression set was initially lower, and this trend continued after 500 hours at 150[degrees]C, indicating significant improvement. The newest fully saturated Z-330 grade showed improvement over the Z-331 grade, while the Z-431 and Z-430 grades were comparable to each other, but showed improvement over the original Z-411 HNBR.

Air and fluid aging

Along with enhancement of low-temperature properties, some improvement in air aging results were seen after aging for 1,008 hours for the 99% saturated grades, Z-330 and Z-430, as illustrated by the improved retention of elongation in figure 9. A significant improvement in the retention of physical properties alter aging for 1,000 hours at 150[degrees]C in various oil media (IRM 903 oil, Petro Canada Canada (kăn`ədə), independent nation (2001 pop. 30,007,094), 3,851,787 sq mi (9,976,128 sq km), N North America.

All low-temperature grades gave comparable elongation retention alter aging in Mobil Super Syn. (figure 10). Z-331 and Z-330 showed improvement in percent elongation retention when compared to the Z-311 in IRM 903. The most dramatic improvement in elongation retention was seen after immersion in Dexron III, when comparing the Z-311 to the Z-331 and Z-330 based compounds. Similar improvement was seen when one compares the Z-411 and the Z-431 results after the Dexron III immersion. When retained tensile strength is considered (figure 11), improvement is seen when comparing the newest fully saturated grades Z-330 and Z-430 with their slightly less saturated predecessors Z-331 and Z-431.

[FIGURE 9-12 OMITTED]

Conclusion

There was significant improvement in the second-generation low temperature HNBR grades, as outlined in this article. Additional improvement was seen in the most recently developed fully saturated low-temperature HNBR grades. The new grades offer an improvement in the following categories:

* Improved cold temperature flexibility;

* improved processability;

* comparable mechanical properties and improvement in tear properties for all of the new generation low-temperature polymers;

* improved ozone resistance with the Z-330 and Z-430 grades;

* improved heat aging characteristics for Z-330 and Z430 grades;

* reduced compression set for all of the new generation low-temperature HNBR grades when compared to the first generation products; and

* improved property retention alter aging in oil, with significant improvement in retention of properties for the more fully saturated grades recently developed: Z-330 and Z-430. Slightly higher volume changes occurred with the new generation of low-temperature HNBR polymers.
