Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR) is acquired through the saturation of nitrile with hydrogen on its hydrocarbon chains. This hydrogenation of the polymeric chain results in improved strength and resistance properties. In this HNBR material data sheet, you can find HNBR material properties and material compatibility.
HNBR, even at raised temperature, has great mechanical properties. This elastomer is both hot air and steam resistant whilst simultaneously having a very good low-temperature flexibility.
The enhanced physical properties of this synthetic rubber copolymer make it the perfect material for both the automotive and oil industries, due to its excellent resistance.HNBR elastomers provide excellent resistance to common automotive fluids such as engine oil, fuel and coolant as well as many other industrial chemicals. HNBR is, therefore, the perfect choice for a range of applications, such as:

Please note, HNBR’s material compatibility is similar to nitrile. Therefore, it is not recommended for contact with chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones or esters. For this type of application, we would recommend FKM or FFKM instead.
