HNBR
HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber)
Durable oil-resistant rubber for EV thermal systems, hydraulic seals, and mechanically loaded precision parts.
Answer-First Summary
- Temperature Range: -40 C to +150 C, compound-dependent
- Media Profile: Oil, coolant, refrigerant, and selected industrial fluids
- Engineering Role: A practical bridge between commodity NBR and higher-cost fluoroelastomers
Good Fit
Best fit when NBR oil resistance is useful but higher heat, ozone, and mechanical durability are required.
Typical Application Windows
EV thermal interface seals
Hydraulic and pneumatic seals
Oil-contact precision molded parts
