Nitrile rubber, also known as nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), is a synthetic rubber copolymer made from acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. NBR has many applications across many industries due to its resistance to oil and chemicals, its wide temperature operating range, and abrasion and tear resistance. Its main applications are in fuel hoses, gaskets, rollers, and other products in which oil resistance is required.
