Nitrile Rubber is a general-purpose oil resistance polymer
which has good solvent, oil, water, and hydraulic fluid
resistance, good compression set, abrasion resistance
and tensile strength. Nitrile should not be used in highly
polar solvents such as acetone, and MEK, ozone,
chlorinated hydrocarbons and nitro hydrocarbons.
