Acrylonitrile or Nitrile as it’s more commonly referred to is a co-polymer of Acrylonitrile and Butadiene. The Nitrile content varies in commercial products from 18% to 50%, the higher the Nitrile content the better the resistance to petroleum oils and hydrocarbon fuels, but low temperature flexibility decreases.
Custom Grades including MilSpec, Def STAN, NSN, AS & DTD available. Below is a sample of common grades. Contact us for your unique requirements.
As Nitrile has an excellent resistance to petroleum products, and an ability to be compounded for service over a wide temperature range, Nitrile is the most widely used elastomer in the seal industry today. Nitrile compounds are superior to most elastomers with regard to compression set, tear, and abrasion resistance but have limited resistance to ozone, sunlight, or weather. To obtain good resistance to lower temperatures, it is often necessary to sacrifice some high temperature resistance. Nitrile should not be kept near electric motors or other ozone generating equipment and should not be kept in direct sunlight.
EMI Seals & Gaskets is known in the industry as a problem solver, helping companies worldwide to meet the ever-demanding requirements of the latest legislation, certification and performance requirements.
