CARBOXYLATED NITRILE
| DESCRIPTION |
| Carboxylated Nitrile, or XNBR, is produced by adding a carboxylic acid side group to nitrile rubber, thereby adding more crosslinking sites than traditional NBR. As a result, solvent swell and abrasion resistance are significantly improved, as well as modulus, tensile strength and tear resistance. Accordingly, XNBR is frequently specified in dynamic applications such as rod seals or wipers. Water resistance, resilience and some low temperature properties are somewhat diminished. |
