1. Polysulfide Rubbers;
Polysulfide rubbers are used in rubberizing fuel storage tanks and in the manufacture of oil- and
gasoline-resistant tubing and of gastight diaphragms for gas meters. Sealing compounds are prepared
from liquid Thiokols.

2. Acrylonitrile Rubbers;
Nitrile/NBR
Nitrile (often referred to as buna-N rubber or perbunan) is the most commonly used elastomer in the seal
industry. Nitrile is a copolymer of two monomers: acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. The properties of these
rubber compounds are determined by its ACN content, which is broken down into three classifications:
The higher the ACN content, the better its resistance to hydrocarbon oils. The lower the ACN content the better
its flexibility in low temperature applications. Medium nitrile is, therefore, most widely specified due to its good
overall balance in most applications. Typically, nitriles can be compounded to work over a temperature range of
–35°C to +120°C and are superior to most elastomers in regard to compression set, tear and abrasion resistance.
