• NR (Natural Rubber)
    Good low temperature flexibility. High tensile and mechanical strength. Poor heat and weather resistance.


  • SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber)
    Properties similar to natural rubber. Better abrasion resistance but poorer fatigue resistance.


  • NBR (Nitrile Rubber)
    Excellent oil and fuel resistance. Average low temperature flexibility, elasticity and compression set. Good mechanical properties and high wear resistance.


  • ACM (Polyacrylic Rubber)
    Good resistance to mineral oils, oxygen and ozone. Good high temperature resistance. Average dynamic properties and poor compression set.


  • AEM (Ethylene Acrylic Rubber)
    Better low temperature performance and dynamic properties than Polyacrylic. Poor fluid resistance. Good compression set resistance.


  • EPDM (Ethlyene Propylene Rubber)
    Excellent resistance to atmospheric ageing, oxygen and ozone. Good resistance to most water-based chemicals. Poor resistance to mineral oils.


  • CR (Chloroprene Rubber)
    Good balance of mechanical properties and fatigue resistance. Superior chemical, oil and heat resistance. Good ozone resistance. Resistant to mineral oils, greases, dilute acids and alkalis.

  • CSM (Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene)
    Good heat, weather and ozone resistance. Excellent resistance to acids. Excellent resistance to oxygen, ozone and most chemicals including water, but poor fuel resistance. Low gas permeability. Poor compression set resistance.


  • VMQ (Silicone Rubber)
    Relatively poor tensile strength and tear/wear resistance. Good heat resistance and cold flexibility. Good weathering resistance and insulating characteristics.


  • FKM (Fluoroelastomer)
    Excellent resistance to high temperatures and to chemical attack by oxidation, acids and fuels. Weak mechanical strength. Limited resistance to steam, hot water, methanol and other highly polar fluids.


  • HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber)
    Excellent heat, ozone and chemical resistance properties. Good oil resistance and process ability. Higher temperature resistance and higher strength. Excellent mechanical properties.


  • PU (Polyurethane Rubber)
    Excellent wear resistance, high tensile strength and high elasticity. Good permeability. Very high mechanical strength. Excellent resistance to weathering and oxidation. Poor heat resistance.


  • ECO (Epichlorohydrin Rubber)
    High resistance to ageing, oxidation, ozone and hot oil. Good resistance to hydrocarbon solvents, moderate low temperature flexibility. Poor abrasion resistance and electrical properties.
