Neoprene / EPDM / Synthetic Rubber / Nitrile / Gum Rubber / Silicone / Viton
NE 501 - Neoprene® Rubber - Chloroprene (CR)
 |
Recommended for gasoline and no-aromatic solvents. Attacked by strong oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons. Excellent resistance to oils, ozone, sunlight and aging. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 20 to 95 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 500 to 3000 |
| P x T max | 15000 |
| Resilience Rebound | Excellent |
| Abrasion Resistance | Excellent |
| Oil Resistance | Fair |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -30° to +250° |
NE 503 - Ethylene Propelyne Rubber (EPDM)
 |
Excellent aging and ozone resistance. EPDM is the preferred rubber material for steam. Oil and solvent resistance is poor but is fairly good in ketones and alcohols. Not recommended for food applications or exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 30 to 90 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 500 to 2500 |
| Resilience Rebound | Good |
| Abrasion Resistance | Good |
| Oil Resistance | Poor |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -30° to +350° |
NE 504 - Synthetic Rubber (SBR)
 |
Satisfactory for most moderate chemicals and wet or dry organic acids. SBR is not recommended for ozone, strong acids, oils, grease, fats and most hydrocarbons. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 30 to 100 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 500 to 3000 |
| Resilience Rebound | Good |
| Abrasion Resistance | Excellent |
| Oil Resistance | Poor |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -30° to +225° |
NE 505 - Nitrile / Buna N Rubber
 |
Number one inexpensive choice for sealing petroleum, oils, and solvents. Nitrile should not be used in highly polar solvents such as acetone, and MEK, ozone, chlorinated hydrocarbons and nitro hydrocarbons. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 20 to 95 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 200 to 3000 |
| Resilience Rebound | Good |
| Abrasion Resistance | Excellent |
| Oil Resistance | Good to Excellent |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -30° to +250° |
NE 506 - Natural Gum Rubber (NR)
 |
Excellent tensile, elongation, tear resistance and resilience. It has good abrasion resistance and excellent low temperature flexibility. It has poor resistance to ozone, oxygen, sunlight and heat. Not recommended for solvents and petroleum products. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 20 to 100 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 500 to 3500 |
| Resilience Rebound | Excellent |
| Abrasion Resistance | Excellent |
| Oil Resistance | Poor |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -60° to +175° |
NE 509 - Silicone Rubber
 |
Extreme low temperature properties. Highly resistant to oxidation and ozone. high resilience and low compression set. Generally attacked by most concentrated solvents, oils, and concentrated acids, however flourination increase chemical resistance. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 30 to 90 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 200 to 1500 |
| Resilience Rebound | Good |
| Abrasion Resistance | Fair to Poor |
| Oil Resistance | Fair to Poor |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -60° to +450° |
NE 510 - Viton® Rubber
 |
One of the most expensive rubber materials due to its high temperature properties. Resistance to wide range of oils. Not recommended for ketones, low molecular weight esters and nitro containing compounds. |
| Durometer Range (Short A) | 60 to 90 |
| Tensile Range (psi) | 500 to 2000 |
| Resilience Rebound | Fair |
| Abrasion Resistance | Good |
| Oil Resistance | Excellent |
| Temperature Tolerance (°F) | -10° to +450° |
