(9) Nitrile (NBR) : + Excellent resistance to oils, solvents and fuels. Resistant to a broader range of aromatic hydrocarbons than neoprene. Nitrile may be blended with SBR rubber to achieve an economically priced sheet or moderately oil resistant applications.
- Application problems may occur when using Nitrite of unknown quality levels in extreme oil-resistance applications or in contact with fuels and solvents.
Content levels of nitrite can vary widely. Where oil or fuel resistance is required, the fabricator and user need to specify one of the following:
an ASTM call-out
a military specification
an ASTM-specified oil-resistance level based on an ASTM test (e.g. oil swell)
