Nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR)

Nitrile rubber (NBR) is a rugged and versatile material with many advantages:

1. Stands up to harsh chemicals: It resists damage from oil, gasoline, and many acids.
2. Works in extreme temperatures: It can handle very cold (-40°C) to hot (108°C) conditions.
3. Hard to wear down: It isn’t easily scratched or worn away.
4. Difficult to tear: It’s not easy to rip or puncture.
5. Keeps water out: It repels water, making it great for waterproof items.
6. Resists many solvents: It protects against various cleaning fluids and solvents.
7. Long-lasting: It doesn’t break down easily, so products made from it tend to last a while.
8. Useful in many fields: It’s found in everything from automotive parts to medical gloves.
9. Safe for people with latex allergies: Unlike natural rubber, it doesn’t cause reactions in people allergic to latex.
