18th November 2020, 14:00 – 15:30 CET, Zeon organizes an online seminar about HyTemp®HT-ACM Elastomers in Demanding Automotive Turbocharged Air Induction Applications. Mr. Peter Abraham (Senior Manager European Technical Service- Zeon Europe GmbH) and Mr. Mark Nevitt (Senior Applications Development Chemist – Zeon Chemicals L.P) are glad to bring you through this topic with their presentations.

Publications within the German professional journal DICHT! are a superb source of information on all aspects of sealing, bonding and polymers. Their current special edition, “E-Mobility & Co”, deals with sealing, adhesive and polymer solutions for new generations of vehicles. The articles in this edition reveal a wide range and a good overview of companies offering solutions in this context and so does Zeon.
Dealing with polymers, Zeon provides the HyTemp® H570, a niche product for the current requirements of the automotive industry, which are accompanied by increasing demands on the high performance elastomers. The durable material HyTemp® H570 covers a wide range of temperatures from -40 °C to 175 °C. These properties provide new opportunities to introduce new approaches to reduce emissions in modern vehicles.
