7 Brands found on Elastomer Engineering in Elastomers

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing, Exploration & Upstream
Product Families:Nitrile Rubbers, Specialty Elastomers
Chemical Family:Nitrile Rubbers
Polymer Name:Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR)
End Uses:Gaskets, Diaphragms, Bladders

Hydrogenated AcryloNitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR) properties depend upon the acrylonitrile content and the degree of hydrogenation of the copolymer. They have somewhat better oil and chemical resistance than nitrile rubber and can withstand much higher temperatures.

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Pipes & Plumbing, Building Materials
Product Families:Nitrile Rubbers, Specialty Elastomers
Chemical Family:Nitrile Rubbers
Polymer Name:Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR)
End Uses:Pipe Liners, O Rings, Hoses

Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), usually shortened to nitrile or NBR, was developed in 1941 as the first oil resistant rubber. NBR rubber grades with high acrylonitrile content have better oil resistance, whereas low acrylonitrile content gives better low-temperature flexibility and resilience.

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Connectors, Parts & Components
Product Families:EP Rubbers (EPDM), Thermoset Elastomers, Parts & Shapes
Chemical Family:Ethylene-Propylene Copolymers (EPR), Polyolefins
Polymer Name:Ethylene Propylene Diene Terpolymer (EPDM)
End Uses:Hoses, Gaskets, Diaphragms

Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber (EPDM) is a copolymer manufactured from ethylene, propylene, and a small number of diene monomers. A small number of diene monomers form unsaturated groups pendant from the main saturated chain. These diene monomers provide cross-linking sites that allow EPDM to be vulcanized.

Applications:Technical Fabrics, Equipment & Parts, Jacketing & Insulation
Product Families:Chloroprene Rubbers, Thermoset Elastomers
Chemical Family:Polychloroprenes
Polymer Name:Chloroprene Rubber (CR)
End Uses:General Purpose, Gaiters, Coated Fabrics

CR general-purpose rubber has an excellent balance of physical and chemical properties that make it suitable in a range of applications.

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Chemical & Industrial Manufacturing, Technical Fabrics
Product Families:Fluoroelastomers, Specialty Elastomers
Chemical Family:Fluoropolymers
Polymer Name:Fluoroelastomer (FKM)
End Uses:O Rings, Gaskets, Diaphragms

Fluoroelastomers or Fluorocarbons (FKM), widely known as Viton®, are among the most suitable rubbers for continuous use at temperatures of 200°C and up to 300°C for short periods. Viton® is a registered trademark of The Chemours Company. Various grades of Fluoroelastomer are available, depending upon which physical properties such as compression set, flexibility (as in diaphragms) or chemical resistance are required. Both copolymers & terpolymers are widely used.

Applications:Equipment & Parts, Tires, Automotive
Product Families:Isoprene Rubbers (IR), Thermoset Elastomers
Chemical Family:Polyisoprenes, Natural Rubbers
Polymer Name:Natural Rubber Latex
End Uses:Wear Pads, Tires, Couplings

Natural rubber is the only non-synthetic rubber available on the market and has been in commercial use since the beginning of the 20th century. NR is extracted from the sap of the Hevea Brasiliensis tree grown in renewable plantations. One true advantage of NR is that it is fully biodegradable.

Applications:Medical Devices & Assemblies, Automotive Electronics, Devices & Assemblies
Product Families:Silicone Elastomers, Specialty Elastomers
Chemical Family:Silicones
Polymer Name:Silicone Elastomer

Silicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer that is ideal for high and low-temperature applications. VMQ’s unique structure provides material flexibility, and it is consistent over a wide range of temperatures thanks to its chemical characteristics.
