Material Science in the Rubber Industry: EPDM vs. Nitrile (NBR)

Mistakes made in rubber selection can lead to significant costs over time. EPDM rubber is unrivaled in infrastructure and outdoor applications because it shows excellent resistance to sunlight, ozone, and outdoor weather conditions. However, if there is oil or fuel in your system, EPDM will swell and fail. This is where oil-resistant Nitrile (NBR) rubber comes in. We offer you the most efficient raw material solution by analyzing the environmental conditions of your project.
