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.
