Is HNBR Rubber Sheet a Strong Competitor to Viton® Rubber Sheet?

Both HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber) and Viton®/FKM rubber  are premium elastomers widely used in industries that require materials capable of withstanding harsh environments. But the question remains: Is HNBR rubber Sheet  a significant competitor to Viton® rubber Sheet ?

The answer depends on the specific application and requirements. While both materials offer excellent performance, they each excel in different areas.
Comparing the Properties of HNBR Rubber Sheet  and Viton® Rubber Sheet 
  HNBR Rubber Sheet : High Performance at a More Affordable Price
- Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and hot oil
- High-temperature resistance up to 165°C (Working Temp. -40°C to +165°C)
- Superior abrasion resistance
- UV and ozone resistance comparable to EPDM rubber Sheet
- Good chemical resistance (though not as strong as Viton®/FKM Rubber Sheet)
- Better mechanical properties than Viton® rubber Sheet
- More cost-effective than Viton®/FKM rubber Sheet

  Viton®/FKM Rubber Sheet : The Ultimate Choice for Chemical Resistance
- Superior resistance to aggressive chemicals and solvents
- Outstanding resistance to oils and hot oils
- Withstands high temperatures up to 260°C
- Excellent flame resistance and oxidation resistance
- Longer lifespan and superior durability
- Easier to source with various grades available

HNBR Rubber Sheet  or Viton®/FKM Rubber Sheet  – Which One Should You Choose?
 Choose HNBR Rubber Sheet if you need:
-  A cost-effective rubber sheet with high oil and fuel resistance
- High mechanical strength and superior abrasion resistance
-  Good UV and ozone resistance
 - A material that performs well in environments up to 165°C

Choose Viton®/FKM Rubber Sheet if you need:
- Outstanding resistance to aggressive chemicals and solvents
- Exceptional high-temperature resistance above 165°C (up to 260°C)
- Flame resistance and long-term durability
- A material that maintains its properties over an extended lifespan

Conclusion: Is HNBR Rubber Sheet a Competitor to Viton® Rubber Sheet?
 HNBR Rubber Sheet can be a strong competitor to Viton®Rubber Sheet in certain applications, especially for industries that need a durable, oil-resistant material with excellent mechanical properties at a lower cost.
 However, if the application demands superior chemical resistance, extreme heat resistance above 165°C( up to +260oC ) ,  flame resistance, and long-term durability, Viton® /FKM  Rubber Sheet remains the superior choice.
