Abstract
Nitrile rubber (NBR) is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is the acrylonitrile component which makes NBR an oil-resisting rubber; the higher its proportion then the greater the oil resistance. Two nitrile rubbers were studied: one containing 41% acrylonitrile, Breon N41 (Zeon Chemicals), and a second containing 34% acrylonitrile, Krynac 34.50 (Bayer). These will be referred to as NBR41 and NBR34 respectively.
