NBR - Nitril Rubber

Created as the result of mixing acrylonitrile and butadiene monomers with the help of additives. Acrylonitrile rate in the mixture determines the material properties. Generally, acrylonitrile rate in the mixture changes between 18% and 50%. Acrylonitrile, gives the mixture polar property and prevents dissolution against hydrocarbons.

As the acrylonitrile rate in the mixture increases, below mentioned properties are improved: Density, Hardness, Burning speed, Mixture processability, Mechanical properties, Elasticity, Permanent continuance, Aging, Resistance to fatigue, Abrasion resistance, Life values.

As the acrylonitrile rate in the mixture increases, Material's resistance increases against the following materials: Oils, Fuels, Lubricant materials, Greases, Gases. As the acrylonitrile rate in the mixture reduces, below mentioned properties worsen. Resistance of material at low temperatures, Permanent deformation values, Elasticity, Production conditions.

HNBR - Hydrogene Nitrile Rubber

HNBR, showing great resistance to engine oil, acidic gases, aminic oils, oxidized fuels and machine greases, provides us a high tensile strength if required, during the high-temperature working conditions of NBR, EPDM and FKM. Fully saturated NBR can build cross-links with peroxides. Those peroxide cross-links that are formed along the double-bonding, raise thermal stability and oxidation balance. Vulcanisate Compounds provide the highest resistance to hot air and hot oil, oxidatives and ozone separation, sulphurios oils, including hydrogenated sulphide, oil additives including nitrogene and sulphur and industrial chemicals. HNBR is known for its high physical strength and advanced tear resistance.

Operation Temperature: -30°C / +150°C


ACM - Polyacrylic Rubber

ACM is a copolymerization of acrylic esters and monomers. The acrylic esters used in ACM are ethyl acrylates and/or butyl and oktyl acrylate, ethyl methoxi, or ethyloxi acrylates. These copolymeres are highly resistant to oil, heat, aging and ozone. Tensile strength of Acrylic rubbers are not as good as NR and NBR. Especially new generation ACMs can work at 150-1600C around 1000 hours. But, at high temperatures they tend to soften. ACM Vulcanisates are more resistant to expansion when exposed to animal fat, vegetable oil and mineral oil, then other rubber compounds except FKM, which decreases as temperature rises. ACM does not well with chemicals. Dry working conditions are bad, and not suitable for working under low temperatures and in water. More then 90% of ACM Manufacture are used in automotive industry. It is used usually in crankhafts, automatic and differential transmissions as shaft rubber and also in o-rings, valves and oil hoses. Its high price usually shadows its other properties and mostly FKM(Fluoroelastomers) is preferred instead.
