The document discusses the properties and applications of XNBR rubber.

XNBR has properties such as hardness ranging from 50-90 Shore A, tensile strength from 1000-3500 PSI, and elongation from 250-600%. It also has good abrasion, adhesion, and tear resistance.

XNBR has good resistance to dilute acids, alkalies, oils, fuels and is resistant to petroleum and mineral oils. However, it has poor resistance to halogenated solvents, ketones and certain esters.
