NIPOL® NITRILE ELASTOMERS (NBR) are recommended when oil or solvent resistance is needed for the proper functioning of rubber parts. Nipol nitrile elastomers are available in a broad range of acrylonitrile content to ensure optimal performance in a variety of conditions. As acrylonitrile content is increased, fuel, oil and solvent resistance improve; low-temperature flexibility and resiliency are improved as butadiene content increases. To obtain a broad spectrum of hardnesses and other essential properties, Nipol elastomers can be blended to achieve optimal performance. Nipol elastomers are the best value for all but the most demanding oil, heat and chemical applications and are available in powder, crumb, liquid and bale forms. Nipol nitrile elastomers are especially suitable for thermoplastics and thermoset modification; they are also used as additives in coatings and adhesives.

Special Properties/Applications
Plasticizer used for nitrile, neoprene and PVC compounds. Improves knitting and flow. May also be used in plastisols and phenolic resins.
