A new hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (HNBR) has been developed using a new polymer technology. This new HNBR gives improved compression set resistance and cold flexibility results when compared to a traditional HNBR polymer. This paper will demonstrate the advantages of this new polymer technology for the demanding of sealing applications.
