CHEMIGUM® N and NX Nitrile Rubbers
Chemigum®N NBR Bale and NX Carboxylated NBR Rubbers are the most cost-effective product lines of oil-resistant synthetic rubbers used in a myriad of automotive and industrial applications. A wide range of grades is available to combine the best of oil & fuel resistance, mechanical properties and performance at low temperatures with processing needs.
Range of NBR Bale. Hot and Cold, Batch & Continuous polymerized grades varying in ACN content, Mooney Viscosity and other features such as low mold fouling and plasticizer extended grades.
NX grades are particularly suitable for use in tough service conditions.

CHEMIGUM® NVC Polyblends (NBR/PVC)
The Polyblends are used where, in addition to oil & fuel resistance, superior weatherability, in particular resistance to ozone, is required. Grades differ in the type and content of the NBR rubber to adapt to specific combinations of performance, service environment and processing.
Range of Polyblends of NBR with PVC supplied in sheet form of varying thickness. Granular form can be supplied on demand.
| Chemigum Grade | Blend Ratio NBR : PVC | %ACN in NBR | Mooney Viscosity ML1+4 at 100.C | Distinctions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chemigum NVC 573E | 70:30 | 33 % | 60 | Versatile grade for extrusions and moldings. Widely used for LPG tubing, fuel hose and conveyor belt covers, cable jacketing, bellows, grommets, seals and profiles in automotive and industrial parts. |
| Chemigum NVC 1204E | 70:30 | 33 % | 26 | Premium grade for very soft auto and industrial parts whose manufacturing requires easy processing, such as covers for printing rollers. |
Rubber Reinforcement
Pliolite® S6
S6 resins are emulsion polymerized styrene butadiene copolymers used for rubber reinforcement (SBR, EVA, NR, CR, BR, EPDM, etc.). It gives high hardness and modulus with good flex and cut resistance at low specific gravity.
S6 resins are cost effective, improve processing and are a good alternative to high loadings of mineral fillers
Pliolite® HSR
HSR styrene-rubber masterbatch resins are also used for reinforcement of natural & synthetic rubbers. Grades vary in styrene content to enable customize reinforcement depending on the nature of the host rubber
