Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber — nitrile’s oil resistance with much higher heat, strength and abrasion life.
Hydrogenated nitrile: excellent oil and fuel resistance plus among the highest strength and abrasion resistance of common seal elastomers.
Hydrogenating NBR’s backbone dramatically improves heat, ozone and mechanical strength while keeping excellent oil and fuel resistance. HNBR resists rapid gas decompression and delivers very high tensile and abrasion performance — a mainstay in automotive A/C and oilfield service.
Typical published ranges — final properties depend on the specific ARC compound, cure system and fillers. Request a compound-specific data sheet for design values.
A/C refrigerant (R134a/PAG) seals, timing and serpentine belts, engine seals.
Downhole packers and seals rated for rapid gas decompression and sour service.
Heavy-duty hydraulic seals and O-rings for high-load equipment.
High-pressure hydraulic rod and piston seals.
