Description

HNBR O-rings are an upgraded version of NBR O-rings. They retain the characteristics of NBR O-rings, and at the same time, they are better in terms of heat resistance, oil resistance, and weather resistance.

HNBR or HSN is short for Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber and is a rubber obtained by hydrogenating the carbon-carbon double bonds in the molecular chain of nitrile rubber, so it is also called highly saturated nitrile rubber.

HNBR O-rings are not as widely used as NBR O-rings or FKM O-rings, but they are a necessary choice in some applications. Their price is higher than that of NBR O-rings but similar to that of FKM O-rings.

Material Data Sheet

The following table presents the physical properties and fluid resistance performance of our standard HNBR O-ring material, formulated to meet ASTM D2000 M4DH716 specifications. All test results are based on cured compounds tested per the indicated ASTM methods, including heat aging, compression set, and exposure to Oil No. 1 and Oil No. 3.

This is the Material Data Sheet (MDS) for our standard 70 Shore A HNBR compound. Savvy Rubber also offers and routinely tests 50, 60, 80, and 90 Shore A HNBR formulations. If you require data for other hardness grades, please contact our sales team.

Features

HNBR o-rings are one of the rubber seals with excellent comprehensive performance. Compared with nitrile o-rings, HNBR o-rings have better abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, tensile strength, tear resistance, and compression set resistance. They also offer significantly improved heat resistance, with continuous service temperatures up to 150 °C (302 °F), and outstanding stability in refrigerants such as R134a and R1234yf, making them particularly suitable for demanding sealing environments involving cooling media.

They have good compatibility with fuels, ozone, sunlight, and other atmospheric conditions, but they are not recommended for use in alcohols, esters, or highly aromatic hydrocarbons.

Applications

HNBR o-rings are commonly used in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry and are widely used as seals in systems using environmentally friendly refrigerants such as R134a and R1234yf, as well as automotive engine system seals.

With the development of the automobile and petroleum industry, oil drilling requires rubber products to withstand the test of high temperature, high pressure, acids, amines, H2S, C2/C4 hydrocarbons, and other hydrocarbon gases. HNBR o-rings can resist acids, oil, and solvents and also have good heat resistance, high-pressure resistance, and oxidation resistance.

HNBR rubber can be made into o-rings, gaskets, shock absorbers, and seals which can be used in the petroleum industry and the automotive industry. HNBR rubber material offers good heat and aging resistance, and is suitable for various sealing applications in industrial systems, including hydraulic pipes, hydraulic sealing rings, cable protection, sleeves, and seals.
