Types of Rubber

Butylrubber
Butylrubber

Butyl rubber, sometimes just called "butyl", is a synthetic rubber, a copolymer of isobutylene with isoprene.The abbreviation IIR stands for isobutylene isoprene rubber. ...

Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM)/ Hypalon
Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene (CSM)/ Hypalon

CSM trade names. Replacements for Hypalon rubber include: Hailon chlorosulfonated polyethylene from Lianda; TOSO-CSM ®, extos ® alkylated chlorosulphonated polyethylene from TOSOH of Japan; A variety of CSM products from Jiangxi Hongrun Chemical Co., Ltd.

EPDM(EPDM ETHYLENE PROPYLENE )
EPDM(EPDM ETHYLENE PROPYLENE )

EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer is a specific type of synthetic rubber. It has a established itself over the years as a versatile rubber with a wide range of applications. The ethylene content is approximately 45% to 85%.

Fluoroelastomers (FKM)/ Viton
Fluoroelastomers (FKM)/ Viton

Fluoroelastomers or FKM (sometimes also referred to as FKM Viton) can be classified by their fluorine content, 66%, 68%, & 70% respectively. This means that FKM rubber having higher fluorine content, have increasing fluids resistance derived from increasing fluorine levels.

Hydrogenated Nitrile (Hnbr Hsn )
Hydrogenated Nitrile (Hnbr Hsn )

inhibitors). HNBR is also referred to as HSN or Highly Saturated Nitrile. Hydrogenated nitrile is a synthetic polymer that results from the hydrogenation of nitrile rubber (NBR). In this process the molecular “double bonds” in the NBR primary polymer chain undergo a hydrogenation process and therefore the term “hydrogenated nitrile”.

Natural Rubber (Polyisoprene)
Natural Rubber (Polyisoprene)

Polyisoprene, polymer of isoprene (C 5 H 8) that is the primary chemical constituent of natural rubber, of the naturally occurring resins balata and gutta-percha, and of the synthetic equivalents of these materials.

Polychloroprene (CR)/ Neoprene
Polychloroprene (CR)/ Neoprene

CR – Polychloroprene (Neoprene) Properties. Chloroprene Rubber (CR), also known as chlorobutadiene rubber, is an important diene-based elastomer. The name Neoprene ® is a registered trademark of DuPont Performance Elastomers.

Polyurethane (AU, EU)
Polyurethane (AU, EU)

Polyurethane (AU/EU) One must differentiate between polyester urethane (AU) and polyether urethane (EU). AU type urethanes exhibit better resistance to hydraulic fluids.

SBR (Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber)
SBR (Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber)

Styrene-butadiene or styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) describe families of synthetic rubbers derived from styrene and butadiene (the version developed by Goodyear is called Neolite). These materials have good abrasion resistance and good aging stability when protected by additives.

Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

Styrene-Butadiene Rubber. Styrene-Butadiene Rubber is most often made up of 25% styrene and 75% Butadiene, which is a higher butadiene content than Styrene-Butadiene Latex and this makes it more elastic-like. SB Rubber’s development traces back to the discovery of synthetic rubber in Germany in the early 1900s.
