Bio-NBR is an innovative rubber material. Anticipating the innovations related to the global use of biofuels E10 and B10, Sealution has introduced several innovative rubber materials. The unique Bio-NBR material offers a wide range of options for long-term sealing of Biofuel systems.
Bio-NBR is a high quality NBR material specially developed for gasoline and diesel applications based on biofuels. It is much more resistant than standard NBR as well as fluorocarbon materials. This increased resistance can be seen, among other things:
Biofuels place higher demands on the various seals that come into contact with fuel systems in vehicles, dispensers and storage systems, among other things. The special material properties of the Bio-NBR from Sealution mean that this high-quality Bio-NBR is used in all geometries in an economically responsible manner to realize durable, maintenance-free sealing solutions.
European car manufacturers regard sustainable biofuels as an essential part of the integrated approach to CO2 emissions. This is why they are investing in engine modifications that allow the use of current biofuel blends and future fuel blends with a higher biofuel content. In this respect, the most economical solution is the application of Bio-NBR. The Bio-NBR from Sealution guarantees a durable maintenance-free sealing solution under a wide range of conditions.
Sealution has tested various NBR rubber compounds, which has resulted in an extraordinarily distinctive rubber compound. This rubber composition is suitable for the production of all types of seals, which can guarantee a durable seal construction in the system. This material originated from a joining of forces between Sealution and an independently accredited European laboratory, which carried out tests on comparable but alternative rubber materials and compared them with Sealution’s Bio-NBR as the best result.
The test method was based on DIN ISO 1817 edition 2008-08 (equivalent: ASTM D471-12). The international standards used allow a 1 on 1 comparison of the various Bio-NBR materials. After which the effect of liquids such as biofuel on the various Bio-NBR materials could be evaluated.
The NBR rubber material for Biofuel complies with the REACH and RoHS directives. Bio-NBR has very specific properties which, together with cost considerations, can be a suitable problem solver. Would you like to know more about Biofuel?
