I need to get smart on rubber in a hurry, particularly on performance
standards for resistance to UV, weather, and various chemicals,
including NBC decontamination agents.
Application is an exterior air intake hose. Need to get smart enough
to choose the material (currently considering butyl or EPDM) and
specify the right standards on a spec control drawing.
Can anyone recommend the relevant standards and/or helpful references
to get me started?
Thanks,
Cam |

No references, but EPDM is always a good choice. Even holds up to
tropospheric ozone and NOx. There are some "spray on insulation"
solvents that seem to turn it into the equivalent of "clay" however.

I had a professor that used to swear by CRC (Chemical Rubber Company)
Handbooks.
