Feature

Advantage:

  1. Exhibit better wear resistance than standard nitrile.
  2. Excellent abrasion, compression set, tensiles, and tear properties.
  3. Good resistance to ozone, sunlight, and other atmospheric conditions.
  4. Vastly improved resistance to heat aging up to 300¢XF range and, for short periods, in the 350¢XF range available material exhibits a low temperature range -40°F.

Disadvantage:

  1. Not recommended for exposure to ketone, esters, and aromatic fluids.
