Nitrile (NBR) Rubber Properties
A universal, oil resistant rubber
A good quality general purpose nitrile sheet
Recommended where added resistance to mineral
oils, alcohols andpetroleum is required especially
under hot conditions
It is not recommended for use in sunlight, or near
sparking electricalapparatus
Neoprene Rubber Properties
A good general purpose poly-chloroprene sheet
Recommended for use in less demanding situations
with air, water, non-oxidizing acid and aliphatic hydrocarbons or where extra resistance to heat, ozone
or weathering isrequired
SBR Rubber Properties
The general purpose, synthetic equivalent to natural rubber,offering similar mechanical properties but better high temperature performance, flexibility and a greater resistance to attack from animaland vegetable oils.
EPDM Rubber Properties
This material has good mechanical properties and
is resistant toageing, weathering, ozone, oxygen,
steam and water.
Recommended for use where resistance to sunlight,
weather, steamand ozone attack is important.
Suitable for use with phosphate ester-based hydraulic fluids andmany mineral acids.
Not suitable for use with petroleum based oils or fluids
Viton Rubber Properties
High temperature rubber material with resistance
to a wide range of chemicals.
A high quality fluorocarbon rubber which exhibits a
wide range of chemical resistance.
Extremely resistant to the effects of oxygen and ozone.
Retains excellent mechanical properties even when
subjected to high temperatures for long periods of
time.
Butyl Rubber Properties
This material is resistant to phosphate ester based
hydraulic fluids and mineral oils.
It is highly impermeable to gas and moisture but is
not recommended for petroleum oil sand.
Fluids
Good resistance to phosphate ester based hydraulic
fluids and mineral oils.
It is highly impermeable to gas and moisture and has
good general chemical resistance including mineral
acids.
Resistance to petroleum oils and fuels is low.
Natural Rubber Properties
A good general purpose poly-chloroprene sheet
Recommended for use in less demanding situations
with air, water,non-oxidizing acid and aliphatic hydrocarbons or where extra
resistance to heat, ozone
or weathering is required
A medium quality commercial grade which exhibits
the qualities required for a good gasket
Suitable for gaskets and packing where no particularly high resistanceto heat, oils or solvents is required e.g. cold water, sewage pipes, etc.
Silicone Rubber Properties
A high quality silicone rubber with excellent resistance to temperature extremes
Good weathering properties and can be used in
contact with food stuff s and a white silicone rubber
is also available
