Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber ( HNBR) Market Strategic Outlook
Overview
Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber is a unique elastomer that can be produced by hydrogenation of the unsaturated bonds in the butadiene units of the polymer in conventional nitrile rubber. Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber ( HNBR) with its more oil and chemical resistant property than nitrile rubbers are heavily used in Oil, Chemical & automotive industry. HNBR represents more mechanical properties like abrasion resistance, tensile and tear strength & elongation. It also shows good dynamic & reliable behaviour at higher temperature, making it one the most efficient Nitrile Rubber.

Product type & Competitive analysis
Latest study on Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber ( HNBR) Market segmentation focuses on High Nitrile HNBR (40% -ACN<50%), Middle High Nitrile HNBR (35% -ACN<40%) and Low Temperature Grade HNBR (CAN-25%) as main product types. HNBR is a hydrogenated version of NBR (nitrile) rubber. NBR is a copolymer of ACN and 1, 3-butadiene, NBR backbone still contains double bonds. These bonds are very much prone to heat & chemical attacks, to improve this weakness Nitrile Rubber are hydrogenated & that leads to more heat, chemical resistance. High Nitrile HNBR is applied in high concentration chemical application & in high temperature environment with average temperature upto 160 °C in oil. Low Temperature Grade HNBR (ACN-25%) is mostly used HNBR that can performed seamlessly till -40 °C.
