Nitrile rubber seals are manufactured for many uses especially in the aerospace and defense industry, sectors that Goodyear Rubber services. Below are some of the materials used in rubber seals:

HPU Polyurethane:

This high performance material that handles temperatures from -11 to 230°F, gets used as rod and piston seals in hydraulic cylinders and for packings, drive belts, rod wipers and hydraulic u-cups.

HNBR Highly Saturated Nitrile Rubber:

The more extreme temperature ranges of -13 to 302°F in this material are put to use in O-Rings, washers and rod and piston seals. It is also used with oils containing aggressive additives.

NBR, Buna-N or Buna Rubber:

Withstanding temps from -22 to 210°F, this rubber seal material is mainly used in low pressure hydraulic seals, O-Rings, oil seal lips and gaskets. It’s a rubber-like elastomer used for general purpose usage.

VIT Fluoroelastomer-Viton®:

For strenuous sealing applications, this material is used in extreme temp (-4 to 392°F) applications in harsh environments and with extreme chemicals used in paper mills, chemical processing and solvents.
