Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) is a synthetic rubber copolymer composed of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is a highly versatile elastomer with excellent resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels, silicone oils and greases, and aqueous acids and alkalis. NBR is used in a wide range of applications, including automotive seals, hoses, gaskets, and O-rings. It is also used in the production of adhesives, sealants, and coatings. NBR is known for its superior resistance to abrasion, ozone, and weathering, making it an ideal material for outdoor applications. It also has excellent low-temperature flexibility and good electrical insulation properties. NBR is available in a variety of grades, including oil-resistant, flame-retardant, and low-temperature grades. NBR is widely used in the automotive, industrial, and consumer goods industries. It is also used in the production of medical devices, such as catheters and syringes. Some of the major companies in the NBR market include ExxonMobil, Dow Chemical, Lanxess, Zeon Corporation, and Kumho Petrochemical. Show Less Read more
