PROPERTIES OF Hydrocarbon Elastomers NITRILE

 
Description: Standard Nitrile is also known as Buna-N. Excelent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels, water and alcohols. Nitrile also has good resistance to acids and bases, except those with a strong oxidizing effect.

Limitations: Avoid highly polar solvents (Acetone, MEK, etc.) and direct exposure to ozone and sunlight.

Chemistry: Copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. By varying the acrylonitrile content, elastomers with improved oil/fuel swell or with improved low-temperature performance can be achieved. Specialty versions of carboxylated high-scrylonitrile butadiene copolymers (XNBR) provide improved abrasion resistance.  And hydrogenated versions of these copolymers (HNBR) provide improved chemical and ozone resistance elastomers.
