New Application Areas of HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber)
New Application Areas of HNBR
HNBR (Hydrogenated nitrile rubber) is a specialty elastomer with excellent chemical resistance, heat aging resistance, and durability. Over the years, the application areas of HNBR have continued to expand. In this article, we will explore the application of HNBR in wearable devices, lithium battery adhesives, and as an ink additive and resin toughening agent.
HNBR in the Wearable Field
Starting in 2025, the EU plans to implement regulations to restrict the use of PFAS, including fluorinated compounds commonly used in multiple industries. This move has prompted manufacturers to look for safer and more sustainable alternative materials. Due to its excellent chemical stability, long durability, and skin-friendly properties, HNBR is gradually becoming an important alternative material in the wearable industry, especially in products such as smartwatches, fitness trackers, and medical devices.
HNBR in Lithium Battery Binders
As the electric vehicle (EV) industry rapidly develops, the demand for advanced battery technology is also growing rapidly. To meet this demand, the battery industry needs materials that can improve the safety, performance and life of lithium batteries.
HNBR can bond and fix the active materials in lithium batteries, helping to improve the stability and safety of the battery. The material enhances the mechanical strength of the battery and maintains the integrity of the battery cell during charging and discharging, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh environments.
HNBR as an Ink Additive and in Phenolic Resin Tougheners
In addition to its applications in wearable devices and batteries, HNBR has also made a significant impact in the ink and resin industries. Due to its excellent weather resistance and heat aging resistance, HNBR is used as an additive in various formulations to improve the durability of inks, coatings and phenolic resins. As a toughening agent, HNBR can also improve the toughness of phenolic resins.
