Applications

DuPont™ Vamac® ethylene acrylic elastomers are useful in applications where combined heat and oil resistance plus exacting rubber-like mechanical properties are needed. Examples are common in automotive powertrain applications such as the following:

  Oil Pan and Cam Cover Gaskets
Low oil swell and compression set combine for good results in gaskets made with Vamac®.

  Transmission Lip Seals
Tough transmission lip seals of Vamac® take the pressure, hot or cold

  Turbo/Intercooler Hose
Hot service makes Vamac® the right choice for turbo/intercooler hoses

  Molded Boots
Molded CVJ and other boots of Vamac® offer heat- and oil-resistance and long flex life

  TOC Hoses
Transmission oil cooler (TOC) hoses of Vamac® perform hotter, better

  Turbo Ducts
In turbo air induction ducts, Vamac® takes heat, oil; stays flexible at low temperatures.

  Bonded Piston Seals
Bonded piston seals of Vamac® deliver cost-effective performance

  Fiber-Reinforced Hose
Fiber-reinforced hose of Vamac® and Kevlar® meets heavy-duty service requirements

  Elbows, Connectors
Molded parts of Vamac® help connect under-hood tubes and hoses.

  Automotive Hoses
Durable automotive hoses of Vamac® retain elastomeric properties
