The temperature range of nitrile is −35° to 120 °C (−30° to 250 °F). Due to this wide range, NBR seals can be used for gas oil, silicone oil, animal/vegetable oils and fat, hydraulic liquid as well as hot and cold water. In addition, NBR is oil resistant and has an excellent abrasion resistance, so for any application that demands shock absorbers, NBR is a perfect choice to go with.
Although extremely flexible, silicone does have some disadvantages. Many silicone compounds have poor tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance. If you are looking for a material that offers a higher tensile strength, while still offering high temperature resistance, look no further than Viton®.
