NBR

Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), also known as Buna-N, is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and other chemicals, making it a preferred material for a wide range of industrial applications. NBR is a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile, which gives it its unique properties, including high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to wear and tear. It is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries for the production of fuel hoses, gaskets, seals, and O-rings, where resistance to oil and fuel is essential. NBR is also used in the manufacturing of gloves, particularly for medical and industrial purposes, due to its resistance to oils, chemicals, and punctures. The material's ability to maintain flexibility and performance at a wide range of temperatures, from -40°C to +120°C, makes it suitable for use in harsh environments. Additionally, NBR is used in the production of footwear, adhesives, and molded products where durability and chemical resistance are required. While NBR offers many advantages, it is less resistant to ozone, weathering, and aging compared to other synthetic rubbers, and it may become brittle over time when exposed to these conditions. Despite these limitations, NBR remains a valuable material in industries that require chemical resistance and durability, and ongoing research continues to improve its properties and environmental impact.
