Properties of standard materials
NBR
Nitrile (NBR) is a synthetic rubber with excellent resistance to vegetable and animal oils and hydrocarbons.
It has good tensile and flexural strength.
In sheet form, nitrile is used for gaskets and protective coatings in environments exposed to oils, hydrocarbons, etc.
SBR
Natural rubber (NR) and styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) are the most commonly used elastomers for rubber sheeting.
Their basic characteristics are good physical properties, abrasion resistance, tear resistance, tensile strength and flexural strength.
These sheets are commonly used in sealing applications as gaskets, washers, etc.
EPDM
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is a synthetic rubber with excellent weathering and ozone resistance. It retains its properties at both high and low temperatures.
It has good chemical resistance, particularly to oxidizing acids. It is used as gaskets and washers in chemical environments.
FKM
Viton is the elastomer of choice for very high-temperature applications.
Its excellent weathering and ozone resistance make it ideal for outdoor applications under extreme exposure conditions.
CR
Polychloroprene (CR) is a synthetic rubber that combines good resistance to weathering, ozone, heat and oils.
It's an elastomer widely used in the manufacture of rubber sheets for cutting gaskets that have to withstand ozone and oils.
VMQ
Silicone rubbers have excellent resistance to high and low temperatures.
They also offer exceptional resistance to weathering and ozone.
Silicone products are odorless and tasteless. They are generally used in medical and pharmaceutical environments.
PTFE
Teflon has remarkable properties that set it apart from other thermoplastic polymers, including excellent resistance to thermal and chemical attack, and an extremely low coefficient of friction.
