RUBBER TYPE

TEKNOLOGI KARET
NR = Natural Rubber
Natural rubber is, as its name suggests, a natural
material produced from the sap of a rubber tree.
The most common application of NR is car tires, but
it is also used to produce technical rubber products.
NR has good mechanical properties. Due to its high
wear resistance, it is often used in the tube of
material handling hoses and in many other
components in the mining industry.
Additionally, NR is often used in vibration damping
solutions due to its advantageous properties.
NR works well in low temperatures, but its
toleration of high temperatures is limited compared
to most synthetic rubbers.
Additionally, NR is not compatible with oxidising
environments, oils, or solvents.
IR = Isoprene Rubber

Isoprene rubber and natural rubber are


used in same applications requiring tear
resistance, tensile strength, or wear
resistance.
IR is a synthetic elastomer with a similar
chemical construction as NR. The difference
is that IR does not contain proteins or
resins found in NR.
IR is more pure and homogeneous than NR
due to its synthetic production process.
However, the physical properties of IR are
slightly weaker.
SBR = Styrene Butadiene Rubber

Styrene butadiene rubber was developed to


compensate the natural rubber deficit
resulting from the World War I and II.
Without fillers SBR is a weak material.
However, by using correct fillers, the
chemical and physical properties of SBR
can get close to NR.
In comparison to NR; SBR has almost
similar wear resistance and better heat
toleration properties, but toleration of low
temperatures and tensile stress are weaker.
BR = Butadiene Rubber
Butadiene rubber is highly resilient
and its tolerance of low
temperatures is excellent.
At its own BR is difficult to process.
Consequently, it is usually mixed
into a compound with NR or SBR.
The use of BR improves wear
resistance, resilience and low
temperature tolerance of a
compound.
EPDM = Ethylene Propylene
Diene Monomer Rubber

Ethylene propylene diene monomer


rubber is commonly used in seals
and cable protectors due to its
excellent weather and ozone
resistance properties.
EPDM also has good chemical and
heat resistance properties.
However, EPDM does not tolerate
oils or fuels.
NBR = Nitrile Rubber
Nitrilerubber has good physical
properties, high resistance of oils and
fuels, as well as relatively good heat
resistance.
Hence, it is often used in hoses,
bellows, or seals that transport or come
in to contact with fuels and oils.
The cold, weather and ozone resistance
properties of NBR are poor, but they
can be improved with correct
compounding.
CR = Chloroprene
Rubber
Chloroprene rubber has good
mechanical strength, weather
resistance and fire resistance
properties.
It is also resistant to splatters of
certain oils. However, it does not
tolerate any aromatic oils.
CR can be used in seals, vibration
dampers and hoses, for example.
IIR = Isobutylene Isoprene
Rubber

Isobutylene isoprene rubber has a special


property, its air and gas permeability is
very low.
Hence, it is widely used on the inside of
car tyres and in gas masks.
Additionally, IIR tolerates heat, it is
elastic, and it has good ozone and
weather resistance.
IIR is therefore also used in steam hoses
and gas bellows.
CSM = Chlorosulphonated
Polyethylene Rubber

Chlorosulphonated polyethylene rubber


is inflammable, because it contains
high amounts of chlorine. It has
excellent ageing, weather and ozone
resistance properties.
Additionally, it is resistant to wear, heat
and chemicals.
Hence, CSM is typically used in hoses
and seals that come into contact with
chemicals.
Q = Silicone Rubber
Silicone rubber is inorganic. Unlike the carbon
chains of organic elastomers, the chemical
structure of silicone rubber consists of silicon-
oxygen links.
This enables the wide operating temperature
range for silicone rubber, the temperatures
ranging from -100C up to +300C.
Additionally, the electrical properties and ozone
resistance of silicone rubber are good. Thus, it is
often used in cable protectors and special seals.
Silicone rubber is also used in pharmaceutical
and alimentary applications due to its neutral
odour and taste.
FPM = Fluorinated Propylene
Monomer Rubber

Fluorinated propylene monomer


rubber has rather poor low
temperature resistance and
mechanical properties.
However, the chemical resistance of
FPM is superb. Thus, it is used in
special seals, hoses and other
products that come into contact
with aggressive chemicals.
ACM = Acrylic Rubber
Acrylic rubber has excellent chemical
resistance and it tolerates oils even in
high temperatures.
Additionally, the weather and ozone
resistance of ACM is good, but the
toleration of steam and low
temperatures is poor.
ACM is rather difficult to process, but it
is used in special hoses and seals in
demanding environments.
