Buna Nitrile O-Ring Material Description
Nitrile rubber (NBR) o-rings, also known as Buna-N, are one of the most commonly used sealing elastomers due to their resistance to petroleum-based fuels and lubricants and their relatively low price. Nitrile elastomers are copolymers of acrylonitrile and butadiene. (Learn why NBR is a popular choice). There are a number of common variations of nitrile compounds. Nitrile o-rings may also come in a metal-detectable variation while retaining the same qualities as the general Nitrile o-ring compound.
For applications requiring o-rings with high visibility, High-Visibility Nitrile o-rings are recommended. High-Visibility o-rings maintain properties identical to its original compound, with the addition of a distinguishable neon green hue.
Acrylonitrile Content
The acrylonitrile (ACN) content of the polymer chains can vary from 18% to 50%. Lower ACN content gives better low-temperature properties but inferior resistance to fuels and polar lubricants. Higher ACN content gives lesser quality low-temperature properties but improves fuels and polar lubricants resistance. Standard NBRs typically have 34% ACN content.
Cure System: Sulfur-Cured & Peroxide Cured
Standard Nitrile o-rings are usually sulfur-cured. Sulfur-cured compounds offer better low-temperature properties but are more prone to hardening with high temperatures. Peroxide-cured nitrile o-rings have better heat resistance and lower compression sets but are more expensive and more difficult to process. Standard materials in stock include sulfur-cured 70 & 90 durometers (N70, N90) and peroxide-cured 90 durometer (N90PC).
