Comparison of Therban® to other elastomers
Superior in many disciplines
A direct comparison shows that Therban is superior to
many other elastomers and materials in several respects.
This means you can turn to Therban HNBR in applications
where you previously needed more expensive solutions.
Therban is superior to FKM (fluoroelastomer) in:
- mechanical properties at operating temperatures
- chemical resistance to alkaline oil additives
- low temperature properties
- adhesion
Therban is superior to AEM (ethylene-acrylic elastomer) in:
- oil and fuel resistance
- processing properties
- physical properties at high operating temperatures
- odor
Therban is superior to ACM (acrylate elastomers) in:
- processing behavior
- low temperature properties
- physical properties
- adhesion
Therban is superior to ECO/CO (epichlorohydrin) in:
- heat resistance
- sensitivity to certain oil additives
- corrosion resistance
- sour gas resistance
