NBR

Synthetic rubber with many benefits

Nitrile rubber (also acrylonitrile butadiene rubber) is a synthetic rubber with which Sattler SCM implements high-quality solutions for elastic components. In this context, acrylonitrile butadiene rubber offers several advantages over natural rubber. These include:

  • high thermal resistance
  • easy to process
  • flexibly adaptable

Because of these properties, workpieces made of NBR are processed and used in a wide range of industries. One advantage here is that it can be easily combined with other materials, such as metals. For example, USIT rings are made of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber and stainless steel.

Find out here how you too can benefit from workpieces made of nitrile rubber and the experience of Sattler SCM.

The resistance and special texture make the elastomer extremely popular

Nitrile rubber is a synthetically produced polymer that can be specifically adapted to different applications through variations in synthesis. In this way, the advantages of acrylonitrile butadiene rubber can be exploited very precisely. These include:

  • high resistance to a wide range of external influences
  • great flexibility through targeted control of the synthesis

Nitrile rubber is characterized by high temperature resistance and high mechanical resistance combined with high elasticity. If these properties are combined with the wear resistance of stainless steel, for example, extremely robust and at the same time elastic molded parts and sealing rings are obtained.

NBR can be processed further at low cost

Nitrile rubber can be specifically modified and further processed both by synthesis and by adding suitable additives. The most commonly used additives include:

  • active fillers, such as carbon black and silica
  • inactive fillers, such as chalks and kaolins
  • plasticizers, such as mineral oils
  • additives to protect against aging
    Please contact our experts for more information on possible fillers for nitrile rubber.

Due to its characteristics, NBR is preferred in various industries

Due to its versatility, nitrile rubber is used in a variety of different industries:

  • The automotive industry and tire manufacturing benefit from the oil and fuel resistance of nitrile rubber.
  • In fittings, you will often find grades approved for drinking water.
  • In mechanical and plant engineering, robust and chemical-resistant piping is made of nitrile rubber.
  • In principle, the use of nitrile rubber is conceivable in almost all areas due to its versatility.
