    HNBR

    HYDROGENATED NBR ELASTOMER


    Hydrogenated NBR elastomer is formed by the selective hydrogenation of acrylonitrile-butadiene
    rubber (NBR). In this process the double bonds are removed from the NBR, making the polymer
    more resistant to oxygen and increasing its heat resistance signi cantly. In contrast to NBR,
    hydrogenated NBR elastomer also o ers improved wear resistance in dynamic applications and
    increased ageing resistance.

    HNBR is resistant to hot water and steam and has good high- and low-temperature performance
    with regard to its physical properties. In addition, these mixes also have high media and abrasion
    resistance and good mechanical properties. 

    The oil resistance of hydrogenated NBR elastomer depends on the composition, in other words it is
    determined largely by the ACN content.

    In sealing technology, HNBR is used in particular in applications requiring good mechanical


    strength and/or increased thermal stability. The strength of HNBR is of particular advantage in
    piston and rod seals, but it is also bene cial for radial shaft seals, O-rings, diaphragms and bellows.
    Furthermore, HNBR is a tried-and-tested material for seals, timing  belts, hydraulic hoses and
    AdBlue hoses and pump diaphragms in the automotive industry. Other important areas of
    application can be found in oil and gas exploration, in the food industry and in the medical and
    pharmaceutical sector.

    CATALYTIC HYDROGENATION IMPROVES THE CHEMICAL AND THERMAL


    RESISTANCE OF NBR
    Hydrogenated NBR elastomer is produced from acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, a copolymer of
    acrylonitrile (ACN) and 1,3-butadiene. As the double bonds of the butadiene monomer units
    remain in the NBR main chain, this material is susceptible to chemical in uences, thermal
    degradation and oxidation. This disadvantage can be eliminated by means of catalytic
    hydrogenation to form HNBR.

    HYDROGENATION OF NBR
    As well as the reaction conditions, the choice of catalyst is a critical factor for the hydrogenation
    reaction. For the quantitative hydrogenation of NBR, the catalyst must have a su ciently high
    activity and a high selectivity, so that only the ole nic double bonds, not the nitrile groups, are
    hydrogenated. Heterogeneous palladium or homogeneous rhodium(I) catalysts are best suited to
    NBR hydrogenation.

    HETEROGENEOUSLY CATALYSED HYDROGENATION


    On an industrial scale, the heterogeneous hydrogenation of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber is
    carried out using palladium as the active metal. Complete hydrogenation can be achieved with 0.01
    to 1.0 weight percent palladium. If Group 1 to 6 metals, e.g. calcium, titanium, zirconium or
    vanadium, are used as promotors, complete hydrogenation can also be achieved with a smaller
    amount of palladium.

    Transformation to HNBR usually takes place at a temperature of 50°C and under 50 bar hydrogen
    pressure, in polymer solutions containing 10 weight percent rubber. The catalyst is then separated
    o by ltration or centrifuging Once it has been separated o , it can in principle be reused,
    although its activity will be reduced.

    HOMOGENEOUSLY CATALYSED HYDROGENATION


    Only Wilkinson's catalyst and RhH(PPh3)4 are used on an industrial scale for this type of NBR
    hydrogenation. Both catalysts bring about a quantitative hydrogenation of the C=C double bonds,
    without any reduction in nitrile groups.

    The reaction is generally performed at temperatures from 100 to 150°C and under a pressure of 30
    to 85 bar. In the lower pressure range, complete hydrogenation takes more than ten hours. The
    reaction time can be reduced to a few hours by increasing the pressure. Once they have been
    recovered, homogeneous catalysts are inactive and cannot be reused without being chemically
    modi ed.

    PROPERTIES OF HNBR
    Unlike NBR, hydrogenated NBR elastomer has high heat and ageing resistance, which means that it
    is frequently used both in sealing technology and also in dynamically challenging applications such
    as synchronous belts. HNBR is also resistant to mineral oils, animal and vegetable oils and fats,
    ame-resistant hydraulic uids (HFA, HFB and HFC) and some refrigerants. In long-term operation
    (up to 1000 hours), fully hydrogenated HNBR grades can withstand temperatures of up to 150°C.
    Partially hydrogenated HNBR can be crosslinked both with sulfur and accelerators and with
    peroxides, whereas fully hydrogenated HNBR can only be crosslinked with peroxides.

    Hydrogenated NBR elastomer – advantages at a glance:

    Good media resistance/chemical resistance


    High mechanical and dynamic strength
    Suitable for use with hot water and steam
    Ozone and weathering resistance
    Good low-temperature exibility
    Low compression set
    High ageing resistance
    Thermal stability from -40 to +150°C

    The properties of HNBR, especially its oil resistance, are determined by the acrylonitrile content in
    the vulcanisates. For good low-temperature performance, HNBR grades with a low ACN content
    and speci c termonomers are recommended, whereas high-temperature resistance, a common
    requirement in sealing technology, can be achieved by using highly saturated HNBR elastomers.

    HYDROGENATED NBR ELASTOMER – POSSIBLE APPLICATIONS


    In the automotive industry, HNBR is a well-established standard material for toothed belts, not
    least because of its ageing resistance and dynamic load-bearing capacity. It is also recommended
    as a starting material for many static and dynamic seals and hoses that come into contact with
    engine and transmission oils and coolants. Hydrogenated NBR elastomer is also commonly used in
    oil and gas exploration, since it has very good resistance to hydrogen sul de (H2S) and amine-
    based stabilisers. In addition, HNBR is the best solution for dairies and other applications involving
    contact with very fatty media in the food sector.

    In sealing technology, hydrogenated NBR elastomer is primarily used where elevated temperatures
    and/or high mechanical strength are required. HNBR o ers a broad spectrum of applications, in
    both the process industry and the food industry. For example, hydrogenated NBR elastomer
     is an 
    ideal sealing material for valve seats or in espresso machines.
