NBR + PVC

NBR + PVC

PVC greatly enhances ozone, thermal ageing, and chemical resistance of NBR in various industrial applications. PVC also vastly improves abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and tensile properties. It also adds gloss and improves the finish of the extruded stock and imparts flame-retardant character. NBR/PVC blends can be conveniently milled, extruded, and compression-molded

 

General characteristics

  • Good tensile properties
  • Good resistance to ozone
  • Excellent abrasion & tear resistance
  • Thermal ageing & chemical exposure
