Also known as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber / Buna-N / Nitrile is a copolymer of acrylonitrile & butadiene, in which acrylonitrile content differs from 18% to 50% (more the quantity of nitrile higher will be the resistance, however the flexibility gets lower).
NBR (Nitrile) can be classified into 3 categories s below:
High Nitrile: Acrylonitrile (ACN) content of over 45%
Medium Nitrile: Acrylonitrile (ACN) content between 30% to 40%
Low Nitrile: Acrylonitrile (ACN) content less than 30%
Properties : NBR (Nitrile) rubber has good to excellent resistance to abrasion, tear @ solvent/oils, however it has poor resistance to weathering, sunlight & ozone.
Applications :
Temperature : -30° C to 100° C
Compatible : To Oil, Fuel, other chemicals & more
Not Compatible : To Ozone, MEK & hydrocarbons with chlorine & nitro contents.
Chemical Resistance : Propane, Butane, Petroleum, Mineral Oil, Grease, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oils,HFA,HFB,HFC Fluids, Dilute Acids, Alkali, Salt Solutions and Water.
ASTM CLASSIFICATION: BF, BG, BK
REQUEST A QUOTECarboxylated Nitrile (XNBR) has better tear and abrasion resistance compared to NBR as this polymer is derived by modifying Nitrile with carboxyl group.
Properties : XNBR exhibits good physical properties and enhanced tensile strength as against NBR in high temperatures.
Applications :
Temperature : -30° C to 150° C
Compatible : To Mineral & Vegetable oils, Water, Diesel, Diluted Acids/Alkalis & Greases.
Not Compatible : To Ketones, Brake Fluids, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, Ethylene Ester & Acetic Acid.
Chemical Resistance : Diluted Acids & Alkalis, Fuel, Aliphatic Hydrocarbon, Mineral Oils, LP Gases, Fuel Oils, Petroleum, Refrigerant Ammonia and more.
ASTM CLASSIFICATION: BF, BG, BK
REQUEST A QUOTEHydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR), as the name suggests it is a hydrogenated version of NBR, It has better physical strength and retention properties to chemicals, heat & oil as compared to NBR.
Properties : HNBR has better resistance to oil, gases & steam as compared to NBR, and also has less degradation over longer period in harsh temperature environments, Also this polymer can provide very good tensile strength depending on loading and filler selections.
Applications :
Temperature : -40° C to 160° C
Compatible : Oils, Gases, Oxidized Fuels, Acids
Not Compatible : Ketones, Esters & Ethers, Chlorinated Hydrocarbons & Strong Acids.
Chemical Resistance : Weathering, Ozone, Water, Salt Solutions, Diluted Acids, Vegetable Oils & Aliphatic Hydrocarbons.
ASTM CLASSIFICATION: DH
