Frequently Asked Questions about Rubber Properties

Which rubber has the best oil resistance?

Nitrile (NBR), HNBR and Viton (FKM) have the best oil resistance. Viton offers the highest performance, with excellent resistance to oils, fuels, acids and aggressive chemicals at high temperatures. Nitrile is the most cost-effective option for general oil resistance. See our Viton rubber and HNBR rubber pages for more details.

Which rubber is best for high temperatures?

Silicone and Viton have the highest temperature resistance. Silicone works from -50°C to 235°C, while Viton works from -50°C to 260°C. For extreme high-temperature applications, these are the best choices. See our silicone for high temperatures page for more details.

Which rubber is best for outdoor applications?

EPDM and Hypalon have the best weather and ozone resistance for outdoor applications. EPDM works from -25°C to 140°C, while Hypalon works from -25°C to 165°C. Both resist UV rays, ozone and extreme weather conditions. See our EPDM rubber and Hypalon rubber pages for more details.

How do I choose the right rubber for my application?

The choice depends on your specific requirements: oil resistance (nitrile, HNBR, Viton), weather resistance (EPDM, Hypalon), temperature resistance (silicone, Viton), chemical resistance (Viton, Hypalon), abrasion resistance (SBR, natural rubber) or electrical insulation (dielectric rubber).
