The table below shows characteristics of different types of rubber. While these are only guidelines, please contact us to develop a formulation that can meet your specific requirements.

Rubber Characteristics Chart
Type	Abbrev.	Positive Characteristics
Nitrile	NBR	Superior resistance to petroleum based hydraulic fluids, and very good resistance to gasoline and oil.
Natural Rubber	NR	Offers good tear and abrasion properties, Very good tensile strength and resilience.
Neoprene	CR	Generic, versatile rubber with moderate oil resistance and good flame resistance characteristics, and has some ozone resistance.
EPDM	EPDM	This rubber has good resistance to heat, ozone and sunlight. It retains good flexibility at low temperatures.
SBR	Buna-S	Good impact strength while flexible at low temperatures. This rubber is generally least expensive, making it a great all purpose rubber.
Silicone	SI	Great in high heat applications or in cold. Will work in applications where weather, ozone and sunlight are factors.
Fluorocarbon Viton	FKM	Good fit for high temperature applications, is resistant to fuel and oils, and hydrocarbon fluids.
