  • Publication number: 20230072950
    Abstract: A gasket includes an elastic part containing a rubber having a dynamic-to-static ratio, Kd/Kst, of 2.5 or lower, wherein the dynamic-to-static ratio, Kd/Kst, is a ratio between a dynamic spring constant, Kd, and a static spring constant, Kst. The dynamic spring constant, Kd, represents a constant as measured under conditions of 23±2° C., 100 Hz, and a strain amplitude of 0.1% according to JIS K6394:2007, and the static spring constant, Kst, represents a constant as measured under conditions of 23±2° C. and a strain amplitude of 0.1% according to JIS K6394:2007.

  • Publication number: 20230029142
    Abstract: A coating solution comprising an organic solvent solution containing polyol-crosslinkable fluororubber, a polyol vulcanizing agent, and N-phenyl-3-aminopropyltrialkoxysilane, preferably a coating solution further containing an epoxy resin in addition thereto, and a fluororubber metal laminated sheet formed by applying the above coating solution to a metal sheet, followed by vulcanization. The coating solution can not only impart stability over time to the fluororubber paste, but also improve the interlayer adhesion and abrasion resistance of the fluororubber metal laminated sheet. Therefore, when it is used as a cylinder head gasket, it is possible to cope with the reduction in rigidity due to the increase in combustion pressure of the engine, and with weight saving. As a result, it will greatly contribute to the improvement of fuel efficiency of automobiles.

  • Patent number: 11466642
    Abstract: A gasket material, in which a crosslinked rubber layer compounding 30 to 200 parts by weight of titanium oxide based on 100 parts by weight of NBR or hydrogenated NBR is formed on a metal plate, improves blister resistance, and thus exhibits an excellent effect of preventing rubber peeling of the gasket in the engine and leading to an improvement of engine malfunction. Further, the use of NBR or hydrogenated NBR results in an advantage of low cost relative to that of fluororubber. Therefore, the gasket material of the present invention is effectively used as a cylinder head gasket.

  • Publication number: 20220136603
    Abstract: A hydrogenated NBR composition comprising 30 to 200 parts by weight of titanium oxide and 1 to 8 parts by weight of magnesium oxide, based on 100 parts by weight of hydrogenated NBR. By forming a crosslinked rubber layer of the rubber composition on a metal plate, a gasket material with excellent blister resistance, whose roll kneadability is improved without reducing the rubber strength of hydrogenated NBR, is provided. Moreover, the rubber composition is effective as a rubber raw material for use in soft metal or a high hardness hydrogenated NBR material for which kneading processing is difficult.
