O-Ring Materials - NBR, Buna N

Nitrile rubber is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It has good resistance to petroleum-based fuels and lubricants and is low-priced, making it the most commonly used rubber raw material. However, it has weak resistance to oxidants such as acetone, butanone and other ketones.

Material properties:
● It has excellent wear resistance.
● Good resistance to petroleum-based fuels and lubricants.
● Not resistant to polar solvents, climate and ozone.

Applicable industries:
● Clamping, seals and gaskets, O-rings, sealing washers, pipe fittings, etc.
