More About HNBR

HNBR is a hydrogenated version of NBR (nitrile) rubber, a copolymer of ACN and 1,3-butadiene. It has better performance than NBR, as in the case of HNBR, the NBR is hydrogenated in a catalytic hydrogenation process.

HNBR is widely known for its physical strength and retention of properties after long-term exposure to heat, oil, and chemicals. Depending on filler selection and loading, HNBR compounds typically have tensile strengths of 20 – 31 MPa when measured at 23 °C.

Compounding techniques allow for HNBR to be used over a broad temperature range, -40 °C to 150 °C, and 160 °C in oil, with minimal degradation over long periods of time. For low-temperature performance, low ACN grades should be used; high-temperature performance can be obtained by using highly saturated HNBR grades with white fillers.

As a group, HNBR elastomers have excellent resistance to common automotive fluids (e.g., engine oil, coolant, fuel, etc.) and many industrial chemicals. Like NBR, fluid and chemical resistance improves as the ACN content is increased.
