NITRILE RUBBER (NBR)

  • Nitrile rubber or rubber, is the synthetic rubber that offers better chemical resistance and temperature capacity than neoprene.
  • Good resistance to hydrocarbons and oils.
  • Not recommended for chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, ketones and strongly oxidizing agents.
  • Excellent resistance to high temperatures.
