Commonly Ordered Materials

Buna N, Nitrile (NBR)

Most commonly used general purpose o-ring material because of relative low cost, good mechanical properties, and basic resistance to many common lubricants. The acrylonitrile content in NBR varies considerably, and impacts the physical properties of the finished material. The higher the acrylonitrile content, the better the resistance to oil and fuel. At the same time, elasticity and resistance to compression set is adversely affected. In view of these characteristics, a medium acrylonitrile content selected. NBR has good mechanical properties when compared with other elastomers and high wear resistance. NBR is not resistant to weathering and ozone
