Zetpol® HNBR
Zetpol® hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR) is ZEON’s toughest, most durable elastomer. Zetpol resists prolonged exposure to 160°C and provides superior resistance to
hot fluids. The toughness of Zetpol makes it the ideal choice for automotive belt, seals, and oil field components.

25/1/24, 11:33 Zetpol HNBR Rubber Elastomers | Zeon Chemicals
Zetpol is ideal for applications requiring both high and low temperature performance. It provides excellent retention of physical properties over a wide range of
temperatures from -40° to +160°C.
Suggested Grades
Zetpol has excellent retention of sealing force, retaining more than 50% of initial sealing force after prolonged heat exposure. It’s the ideal choice for static and
dynamic seal and gasket applications, including front cover gaskets, requiring resistance to both coolant and engine oil.

Suggested Grades
Zetpol has superior retention of physical properties at elevated temperatures up to 160 °C when compared with other elastomers.

Suggested Grades
Even after long exposure to hot (150°C) engine oil, Zetpol maintains its tensile strength and elongation with minimal swelling. Volume swell after 1,512 hours of
exposure to automatic transmission fluid is under 5%.

Steam Resistance
Zetpol does not swell nor soften when exposed to steam. In comparison, FKM softens after steam exposure. Oil field and industrial applications are common uses of
Zetpol HNBR.

25/1/24, 11:33 Zetpol HNBR Rubber Elastomers | Zeon Chemicals
Deeper, hotter wells require tough elastomers. Materials need to be resistant to oil, extreme heat, hydrogen sulfide, amine corrosion inhibitors, steam and explosive
decompression. Zetpol meet these needs and is commonly used in a variety of oil & gas applications. Customers use Zetpol for blow out preventers, stators, water
swellable packers, pipe protectors, drill bit seals, inflatable packers, well head seals, and down hole packers

25/1/24, 11:33 Zetpol HNBR Rubber Elastomers | Zeon Chemicals
Zetpol HNBR maintains excellent physical properties, including in mixed environments of oil + water/coolant. It is ideal for various sealing applications: Zetpol can
be used on front cover, intake manifold, and oil pan gaskets, as well as drain plug seals and water pump seals.
Timing Belts

25/1/24, 11:33 Zetpol HNBR Rubber Elastomers | Zeon Chemicals
Zetpol is ideally suited to meet the requirements of belting applications. It provides superior dynamic properties as well as minimum loss of hardness and modulus
with increased temperature. These properties, coupled with Zetpol’s superior heat, oil, wear and ozone resistance, enable belts with higher operating temperatures and
longer life. Zetpol is suitable for a variety of timing belts, including synchronous timing belts, V belts, and industrial belts.
Automotive Hoses

25/1/24, 11:33 Zetpol HNBR Rubber Elastomers | Zeon Chemicals
Zetpol’s excellent heat and fluid resistance allows for extended service life at elevated temperatures. Zetpol has good resistance to biodiesel and is well suited for use
in bio-diesel hose, industrial hose, and hydraulic hose.
Rolls
High hardness Zetpol rolls offer excellent physical properties and are designed to provide rolls with higher operating speeds and longer service-life. Its dynamic
properties make it an ideal material for large rolls used in paper mills and industrial settings, including couch rolls, pickup rolls, and sizing rolls.
Axle Boots
Driveshaft and axle joints require elastomeric boots that withstand repeated flexing, ozone exposure, and both hot and
cold temperatures. Zetpol’s superior heat, oil, grease, and wear resistance enable axle, driveline, and propshaft boots with longer service life at higher temperatures.
