Not All ARPM Class A Rubber Compounds are Created Equal

  • Oil resistance is measured in % change of cured rubber properties after exposure to oil: tensile strength retained and volume swell.
  • No benchmark or starting point for tensile values or volume.
  • Different compounds offer varying compatibility with different aromatic content. More refined fuels = higher aromatic content.
  • NBR (Nitrile) polymers offer the best oil resistance and each Continental compound is specially formulated for the application.
  • No compound is oil proof – it is only oil resistant.
