| Zetpol® 2020L Hydrogenated NBR (HNBR) features high strength as well as resistance to heat, sour gasoline, and ozone. The low-temperature resistance grade provides outstanding physical properties across a wide range of temperatures, from -40 to 150°C. in terms of fuel-related applications, compared to rubber containing fluorine, Zetpol exhibits surpassed cost performance, while at the same time complying with the specific requirements of those applications. It also offers superior resistance to various lubricating oil additives. The use of Zetpol enables the manufacture of rubber parts including seals, hoses, and gaskets with excellent functionality at high temperatures, as it facilitates the design of high modulus compounds and maintains significant strength at high temperatures. Zetpol is also the ideal choice for oil drilling applications, because of its resistance capability to steam and acid, as well as crude oil and natural gas. In addition, Zetpol works well if applied to industrial equipment, since it readily adheres to various types of metal and exhibits excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. Furthermore, for various belts, such as synchronous belts and V-belts, Zetpol’s premier dynamic characteristics, high strength, ozone resistance, and heat resistance contribute significantly to improving durability. Characteristics and applications Low Mooney version of Zetpol 2020. Excellent for transfer or injection molding. Suitable for sulfur and peroxide curing.&&Zetpol® 2020L ZETPOL® HYDROGENATED NITRILE ELASTOMERS (HNBR) provide superior service in tough environment applications. Zetpol shows not only much higher resistance than NBR elastomers to heat, sour gasoline, and ozone, but it also provides excellent retention of properties at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +160°C. When properly compounded, Zetpol is suitable for applications where high strength at high temperature is required. Zetpol displays lower brittleness temperature than NBR with the same volume swell in gasoline, is more cost effective than FKM, and exhibits minimal deterioration when exposed to special oil additives. Zetpol resists crude oil, diesel oil, amine corrosion inhibitors, steam, and acids, making it an excellent choice for molded parts and hoses used in oilfield applications, both exploration and production. Zetpol provides excellent service up to 125°C in both animal fat and vegetable fat based biodiesel fuels, providing superior service in hose, gaskets, and seals used in automotive and heavy vehicle operations. Finally, Zetpol offers excellent service in multi-rib and timing belt applications due to its long-term dynamic performance, strength, and ozone resistance. Special Properties/Applications Low-viscosity version of 2020. FDA compliant.&& |
