U.S. abolished anti-dumping duties on Japanese neoprene rubber

The U.S. Department of Commerce recently decided not to impose a 55% anti-dumping duty on AF imported from Japan, which is mainly used to produce adhesives.

On January 23, DuPont High Performance Elastomers filed a statement with the U.S. Department of Commerce requesting the withdrawal of anti-dumping duties on neoprene AF. Previously, the American Adhesive and Sealant Council (ASC) also made the same request.

It is understood that since the closing of the French Neoprene plant by Polimeri Europa S.p.A. on September 30, 2005, the global market supply has tightened. Recently, DuPont Performance Elastomers shut down the Louisville plant, especially with multiple grades of chlorinated rubber, which will inevitably increase the North American market shortage. ASC's investigation showed that discontinued neoprene grades (AOS1120, AQS 2540, and AF) are the basic materials for the production of adhesives and sealants. As a result, ASC and DuPont Performance Elastomers have asked the U.S. Department of Commerce to relax restrictions on imports of chloroprene rubber from Japan in order to protect the normal needs of the North American adhesives and sealants industry.

In 2005, Gates, along with Goodyear Tire & Rubber and the American Automobile Equipment Manufacturers Association, made similar requests to the US International Trade Commission, but was opposed by DuPont Performance Elastomers and LANXESS, and finally the International Trade Commission ruled 2006. We continue to retain tariffs in the year.

Normally Expansion Tank is made by semi-transparent materials, such as plastic. The reason why use this kind material is that we can easily observed the liquid level directly through the box instead of opening the cap.


The operating principle of expansion tank is that, when people run cars, the temperature of the coolant circulating through the water jackets naturally increases which will increase pressure in the cooling system. When the pressure builds to a high enough point, the radiator cap allows that pressure to escape into the coolant reservoir through a small hose, called an overflow hose connected by the neck of the radiator to the expansion tank. Most of the coolant that is forced into the expansion tank returns to the radiator naturally after a few hours or when the engine is cold.



As engine coolant heats up, it expands. The Coolant Expansion Tank provides additional storage for the expanding coolant and is commonly the location where coolant is added to the engine.

Without expansion tank, cooling systems would explode under pressure or the coolant would be forced from the overflow tube on the radiator and leak onto the road. It is advisable to check expansion tank regularly.


We can provide all kinds of expansion tank and Brake Fluid Tanks with high quality and reasonable price. As we all know, expansion tank is a vital component in our car`s cooling system.
