Product and component quality is paramount for aerospace vessels. The delivery of high-quality components contributes to the safety of those on board. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), is a synthetic rubber derived from acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) is unusual in being resistant to oil, fuel, and other chemicals. Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) is commonly used to make wherever fuel and oil handling hoses, seals, grommets, and self-sealing fuel tanks is required, such as in aerospace, superstructures of ships, automotive, civil engineering, sports equipment, and an increasing number of consumer and technical applications.
BS EN 2848 specifies the properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), Fuel and synthetic oil resistant, hardness 80 IRHD, for aerospace applications.
BS EN 2848 on Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber 80 IRHD for aerospace applications is useful for:
The demand for acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) in the aerospace industry is greater than ever. As a customer, you can benefit from NBR's stability at high temperatures from −40 to 108 °C (−40 to 226 °F) which makes it an ideal material for aeronautical applications. NBR is more resistant than natural rubber to oils and acids, and has superior strength, but has inferior flexibility By using acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) in both primary and secondary structures, it is possible to save weight and at the same time achieve mechanical peak values in terms of strength and stiffness of the components.
BS EN 2848 provides you with the specific properties of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), Fuel and synthetic oil resistant, hardness 80 IRHD, for aerospace so that the products are suitable for the required purpose.
The guidelines in BS EN 2848 contribute towards including high-quality components for aerospace that are responsible for the smooth and safe functioning of vessels.
