Temperature Range:
-32°F (-36°C) to 300°F (149°C)
Hardness (Shore A) Range:
50 to 90
Also Known As:
Therban®, Tornac®, Zetpol®
Designation:
HNBR
Class:
DH
Shelf Life:
15 Years
Description:
Hydrogenated Nitrile comes from adding hydrogen to the nitrile molecular chain to make it more stable. The addition of hydrogen reduces the number of carbon-carbon double bonds, making it less reactive.
Advantages:
In comparison with NBR, HNBR has better abrasion resistance, tear resistance, high-temperature properties and resistance to chemical attacks. It can be used in ozone applications, R134a refrigerant gas, petroleum oils and fuels, water and team (up to 300° F), silicone oils and greases, vegetable and animal fats and fluids.
Disadvantages:
Cannot be used in chlorinated hydrocarbons, polar solvents (esters and ketones), and strong acids.
