There are several elastomer choices for oil resistant applications. The most commonly used oil resistant elastomers are acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), polychloroprene rubber (CR) and acrylonitrile butadiene-polyvinylchloride blends (NBR/PVC). Other elastomers, such as hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene (HNBR), chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSM), chlorinated polyethylene (CM), various acrylic elastomers, silicones, fluorosilicones and fluorinated elastomers, are used where higher service temperature performance is required. The relative heat and oil resistance of various elastomers is graphically represented in the commonly used ASTM D2000/SAE J200 chart (figure ...
