APPLICATIONS
NBR’s are used where excellent oil resistance is required. They are widely used in sealing applications, particularly for oils and gasoline (aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons). Major applications include gaskets, seals, diaphragms, gasoline hoses, liners, tubing, O-rings and cable jacketing. Carboxylated grades find also uses as rubber tougheners in many epoxy formulations.
Typical grades have a working temperature range of -25°C to +100°C. Some low acrylonitrile materials are suitable for application down to -50°C and some peroxide cured grades go up to +150°C.
