HNBR compound

HNBR is a hydrogenated version of NBR (nitrile) rubber. HNBRs have better oil and chemical resistance than nitrile rubbers and can also withstand higher temperatures. HNBR rubber has excellent resistance to oils and fuels but it also has excellent resistance to many chemicals, steam / hot water and ozone. The mechanical properties e.g. tensile and tear strength, elongation, and abrasion resistance are excellent.

HNBR is widely used in automotive, industrial applications, oil and gas industries, food and pharma, and medical markets. The automotive market uses HNBR for a host of dynamic and static seals, hoses, belts, coolants, AdBlue / oil and fuel systems. HNBR has also been widely employed in industrial sealing for oil field exploration and processing, as well as rolls for steel and paper mills.
