Nitrile is the most widely used elastomer in the seal

industry. The popularity of nitrile is due to its excellent
resistance to petroleum products. It has good physical
properties and is superior to most rubbers in regards to
compression set, tear and abrasion resistance. It offers
high resistance to mineral oil based hydraulic fluids,
silicone greases, petroleum-based oils, water and
alcohols.
The major limiting properties of nitrile are its poor ozone
and weather resistance and moderate heat resistance,
but in many applications these are not limiting factors.

HNBR is achieved by hydrogenated NBR. Greatly

improved wear and extrusion resistance over standard
NBR. Good chemical compatibility and it is excellent heat
and oil resistant including exposure to such oil additives
as detergents, anti-oxidants and anti-wear agents. It also
shows a up to five times higher resistance to sour gas
and ozone resistance. Has an extended high temperature
range.
Primary Uses
Seal and gasket application requiring additional

resistance to chemicals and slightly higher temperatures
than can be handled with NBR. O-Rings, washers, rod
and piston seals, back-up rings, gaskets.

FLUOROCARBON (FKMViton)
An excellent elastomer for use in high temperature

applications. Also exhibits excellent chemical resistance,
commonly referred as VITON or FKM. Fluorocarbon
exhibits resistance to a broader range of chemicals
combined with very good high temperature properties
more so than any of the other elastomers. It is the closest
available approach to a universal elastomer for sealing in
the use of o-rings and other custom seals over other types
of elastomers.
Fluorocarbons are highly resistant to swelling when
exposed to gasoline as well as resistant to degradation
due to expose to UV light and ozone.
In addition to standard FKM materials, a number of special
materials are available with differing monomer
compositions and fluorine content (65% to 71%) for
improved low temperature, high temperature, or chemical
resistance performance.
Fluorocarbons exhibit low gas permeability making them
well suited for hard vacuum service and many
formulations are self-extinguishing. FKM materials are not
generally recommended for exposure to hot water, steam,

ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE (EPDM)
Ethylene-propylene compounds are used frequently to

seal in brake systems, and for sealing hot water and
steam. Ethylene propylene compounds have good
resistance to mild acids, detergents, alkalis, silicone oils
and greases, ketones, and alcohols. They are not
recommended for applications with petroleum oils,
mineral oil, di-ester lubricants, or fuel exposure.
Ethylene Propylene has gained wide seal industry
acceptance for its excellent ozone and chemical
resistance properties and is compatible with many polar
fluids that adversely affect other elastomers.
EPDM compounds are typically developed with a sulfur or
peroxide cure system. Peroxide-cured compounds are
suitable for higher temperature exposure and typically
have improved compression set performance.

SILICONE (VMQ)
Silicone is a semi-organic elastomer with outstanding

resistance to extremes of temperature with corresponding
resistance to compression set and retention of flexibility.
Silicone elastomers also have excellent weathering,
ozone and aging properties.
Silicone rubbers have poor mechanical properties and
abrasion resistance and are therefore mainly used for
static sealing applications and are not recommended for
dynamic applications. Silicones are highly permeable to
gases, and are generally not recommended for exposure
to ketones, concentrated acids, or steam.

Neoprene homopolymer of chlorobutadiene and is
unusual in that it is moderately resistant to both petroleum
oils and weather (ozone, UV, oxygen). This qualifies
neoprene uniquely for certain sealing applications where
many other materials would not be satisfactory. Neoprene
is classified as a general purpose elastomer which has
relatively low compression set, good resilience and
abrasion, and is flex cracking resistant.
Neoprene has excellent adhesion qualities to metals for
rubber to metal bonding applications.
It is used extensively for sealing refrigeration fluids due to
its excellence resistance to Freon and ammonia.
