On NBR with low ACN: the lower the acrylonitrile content the poorer the oil and chemical resistance but higher the low temperature properties. Low acrylonitrile will have brittle points at -45C. Typical applications: - Aeronautical (good heat resistance, up to around 110 C)
- Oil resistant seals and diaphragms
- Non-latex gloves
- Rollers
Advantages: - Excellent resistance to oil
- Good resilience
- Physical and chemical properties dependent on the ACN content; the higher the ACN content the better the resistance but the lower the flexibility
Disadvantages: - Inferior to NR in terms of physical strength and flexibility
- Can be attached by ozone, aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters and aldehydes.
