Goodyear Rubber Company of So. California Nitrile Polymer, also known as Buna N is a synthetic rubber, copolymer of acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. Physical and chemical properties of Nitrile rubber varies depending on ACN content. Higher the ACN content, better resistance to oils, fuels and other chemicals but lower the flexibility. It is used in the automotive and aerospace industry to make fuel and oil handling hoses, seals and grommets since ordinary rubbers cannot be used.

WellsFlam - Flame Retardant can be added to a polymer to improve its fire resistance properties by increasing the materials ignition temperature, reducing flame propagation speeds and reducing smoke emissions.

Dragonite™ -XR is a halloysite-­‐based aluminosilicate clay exhibiting a rare, naturally occurring hollow tubular structure. Through its unique morphology and ideally-­‐suited chemistry, it enhances the properties of wide range of thermoset resins to meet the requirements of demanding applications. Dragonite™-XR is an untreated product grade with slightly lower reactivity and acidity due to 2% iron oxide content. It is recommended at loadings of 30 - 60 wt%.

Fujipoly Industries 7BN is for general use. It is made by extruding silicone rubber into a tube shape. The standard materials are roughly divided into two types, 7BN type (for general use) which has various standard dimensions.

Fujipoly Industries 7AV is for heat resistance. It is made by extruding silicone rubber into a tube shape. The standard materials are roughly divided into two types, 7AV type (for heat resistance) which has various standard dimensions.

Da/Pro Rubber Neoprene/Chloroprene is a brand name developed by DuPont Performance Elastomers. It is a name for a family of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene. DuPont developed this family of rubbers as an oil-resistant alternative to natural rubber.Because of these properties, neoprene rubber is useful in a variety of applications. Neoprene rubber gaskets and neoprene grommets are used in devices that are exposed to extreme chemicals and temperatures. Neoprene gaskets are often used in automotive and oil & gas industry as a seal against corrosive environments and weather elements. Neoprene grommets are used in electrical connectors in the aerospace and electronic industries. Neoprene rubber has become a popular material choice in modern applications ranging from clothing to electronic cases.
