Temperature range: -40ºC to +95ºC
Hardness Shore A: 50ºC to 80ºC

NBR - Nitrile

Acrylonitrilebutadiene Rubber, or Nitrile, has exceptional resistance to fuels but is not suitable for applications with prolonged exposure to UV.

Temperature range: -20ºC to +100ºC
Hardness Shore A: 50ºC to 80ºC

PVC

PVC is an excellent material for use when chemical and UV resilience is required. It also has good physical characteristics including resistance to corrosion.

Temperature range: -20ºC to +40ºC

TPR - Thermoplastic Rubber

Thermoplastic Rubber has excellent UV and temperature properties and has reasonable resistance to oils and fuels.

Temperature range: -20ºC to +60ºC

SBR - Styrene Butadiene

Styrene Butadiene Rubber has good physical characteristics including resistance to wear and abrasion but is not recommended where contact with oils, fuels or high levels of UV are likely.

Temperature range: -55ºC to +85ºC
Hardness Shore A: 60ºC to +70ºC

SI - Silicone
