Boot weather strip

Rack and pinion boots. .. Weather-stripping, window seals. .. 

Bimodal PE s (LCB = 0.01- 3 > 7) was lightly crosslinked. The PE-1 was prepared in the hrst reactor, and PE-2 was prepared in the presence of 15 - 65 wt% of PE-1 in the second reactor. The reaction could be carried out in the slurry, solution, or gas phase. blends (p < 885 kg/m ) were used for wrre/cable coating, weather-stripping, seals, foamed articles with closed, open or mixed cells, containers, medical appliances, drapes and coverings, hbers, tapes, tubes, pipes and hoses, bellows, boots, gaiters, footwear, etc. Cree etal, 1998... 

Nearly all of the dynamically vulcanized EPDM/PP blend s (Santoprene ) growth has been at the expense of thermosetting rubbers due to the blend s easy melt processability and recyclability. Much of this growth has been in automotive applications such as rack and pinion steering boots, seat belt sleeves, and air ducts. EPDM/PP blend has also been used in window and door glazing seals, weather stripping and extrusion applications in the electricaE electronic industry. 

EPDM is used for a variety of automotive parts (weather strips, seals, boots, sponge gaskets, etc.). As a blending polymer in white/black sidewall, EPDM confers ozone and flex resistance addition of EPDM in butyl rubber-based compounds for air tubes imparts specific properties in manufacture and reduces growth in service.
