HNBR LT

RGD approved

GAZGUARD 728

General description: low acrylonitrile, peroxide cured HNBR elastomer, carbon black reinforced. Designed to offer
superior low temperature sealing performance in oil and gas applications combined with excellent resistance to Rapid
Gas Decompression (RGD) and superior mechanical properties to alternative low temperature elastomers.
Properties: In addition to similar resistance of conventional low nitrile compounds in oils and fuels, this HNBR compound
has enhanced mechanical properties and abrasion resistance, excellent reistance to oxygen and ozone weathering and
higher temperature capabilities
Temperature capability: - 33C (-27F) to 150C (302F) in air (lower temperatures possible depending on application)
Colour: Black
Cross linking: Peroxide
O-rings (AS 316) 21,59 x 5,33 squeezed with 15% nominal compression
Minimum sealing temperature
N2-pressure

Rapid Gas Decompression (RGD) validation: The compound has been subjected to full 10 cycle RGD testing at MERL
UK independent test facility in accordance with Norsok M-710 rev 2. Test conditions were 90% Methane/ 10% Carbon
dioxide gas at 120C (250F), 10000 psi (ca. 690 bar) test pressure. The highest possible rating of 0000 was achieved
with no visible external or internal damage. A certificate is available on request.

The given values are based on a limited number of standard ISO tests on test pieces cut from laboratory test sheets. The data from finished moulded parts may deviate from
the quoted values depending on manufacturing process and part geometry. Information in this publication and otherwise supplied to users is given in good faith, but because
