Global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Market Insights, Size and Growth Forecast To 2027
Global Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Market: Overview Nitrile rubber, also known as Buna-N, styrene-butadiene rubber or NBR, is a copolymer of acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene and is a synthetic rubber. Although its physical and chemical properties vary with the composition of the nitrile in the polymer, such synthetic rubbers are generally resistant to oil, fuel, and other chemicals (the higher the nitrile content of the polymer, the better the oil resistance, but the material's toughness will deteriorate). In the automotive and aviation industries, it can be used to make fuel and oil delivery hoses, seals, and grommet; in the nuclear industry, it can be used to make protective gloves. Nitrile rubber is more resistant to oil and acids than natural rubber but has lower strength and toughness. However, nitrile rubber gloves have three times the puncture resistance of natural rubber gloves. “The Final Report will cover the impact analysis of COVID-19 on this industry (Global and...
