Elastomeric Nitrile Rubber: High-Performance Material for Diverse Applications
Elastomeric Nitrile Rubber (NBR), also known as Buna-N, is a synthetic rubber renowned for its exceptional oil and chemical resistance, making it a versatile material for a wide range of demanding applications. This product description details the key properties and benefits of our high-quality elastomeric nitrile rubber.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Excellent Oil and Fuel Resistance: NBR exhibits superior resistance to a broad spectrum of oils, fuels, greases, and other petroleum-based fluids. This makes it ideal for applications in automotive, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
- High Abrasion Resistance: Its durable nature provides excellent protection against wear and tear, extending the lifespan of components subjected to friction and rubbing.
- Good Chemical Resistance: Beyond oil resistance, NBR offers satisfactory resistance to many chemicals, including alkalis, alcohols, and certain acids (though not all; specific chemical compatibility should be verified).
- Wide Temperature Range: Depending on the specific formulation, NBR can perform effectively across a broad temperature range, from sub-zero temperatures to moderately elevated temperatures. Consult specifications for exact temperature limits.
- Excellent Compression Set: NBR retains its shape and properties even after prolonged compression, ensuring consistent performance over time.
- Good Tensile Strength: Provides significant resistance to stretching and tearing, contributing to overall component durability.
- Versatile Processing: Can be easily processed using various techniques, including molding, extrusion, and calendaring, making it adaptable to diverse manufacturing processes.
Applications:
The exceptional properties of our elastomeric nitrile rubber make it suitable for a diverse array of applications, including:
