Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR - Nitrile Rubber)
Temperature Range: – 30°C to 100°C
Can be made to resist up to -50°C upon request
Chemically resistant to: Oil & Fuels, Mineral and Vegetable Oils, Grease, Water, Alcohol, and Aliphatic Hydrocarbons
Features such as FDA Compliant NBR Available
Fluorocarbon Rubber (FKM/FPM) Commonly Known as VITON®
Resistant to Aromatic & Aliphatic hydrocarbons.
High Pressure resistant suitable for Vacuum Applications
Good weathering, aging, and ozoning resistance.
Temperature Range: – 20°C to 200°C
Can be made to resist extreme temperatures and gases depending on categories as below:
  • Viton A
  • Viton B
  • Viton F
  • Viton AED, LT AED, GF, ULT, XLT, ETP (Commonly used in Oil & Gas)
General Chemical Resistant : Petroleum Oils & Fuels, Mineral Oils and Grease, Acids
Added Chemical Resistance of Viton AED (LT) : H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) also known as sour gas
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) Rubber
