There are five types of nitrile rubber (NBR) in terms of its acrylonitrile content and mooney values. They are cold NBR, hot NBR, cross linked hot NBR, carboxylated nitrile(XNBR), and bound antioxidant NBR. Regarding for cold NBR, the current generation of cold NBR’s spans a wide variety of compositions. Acrylonitrile content ranges from 15% to [...]

Nitrile Rubber (NBR) is commonly considered the workhorse of the industrial and automotive rubber products industries. NBR is actually a complex family of unsaturated copolymers of acrylonitrile and butadiene. By selecting an elastomer with the appropriate acrylonitrile content in balance with other properties, the rubber compounder can use NBR in a wide variety of application [...]
