Medium acrylonitrile (ACN) Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR)
Description Z73B is a Copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene with a medium ACN content of 30 - 45%.
HNBR materials typically provide superior heat resistance, excellent
mechanical properties, combined with exceptional resistance to oils, hydrogen sulphide, amines present in crude oil, high energy radiation, ozone and weathering.
Z73B is accepted by the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to Defence
Standard 02-337 part 1, issue 2 (NES 337) for use on naval ships and submarines.

However, Precision Polymer Engineering Ltd makes no warranty, expressed or implied, that parts manufactured from this material will perform satisfactorily in the customer's application. It is the customer's responsibility to evaluate parts prior to use, especially in applications where their failure may result in injury and/or damage. It should also be noted that all elastomeric parts have a finite life. Therefore a regular programme of inspection and replacement is strongly recommended. Low temperature operating parameters are based on SAE AMS 7379-2008. The material properties above should not to be used for specification purposes.
