Chemical (Fluid, Gas) Compatibility: Buna-n (Nitrile Rubber)
Commercial Buna-N (Nitrile) rubber compounds are generally resistant to the following list of over 300 chemicals, normally exhibiting little or no effect on the physical properties of the rubber and, therefore, are normally suitable for both dynamic and static seals and gaskets in environments containing them.
