Rubber-based adhesives: typical characteristics

A general introduction has been given in other articles, Rubber-Based Adhesives and Rubber-based Adhesives Typical Characteristics. Here, one of the most common types of rubber adhesives, contact adhesives, is further considered. Contact adhesives are bonded... 

Natural rubber (NR) is the base polymer for many Rubber-based adhesives. This article is designed to supplement with specific information the more general treatment given in Rubber-based adhesives compounding and Rubber-based adhesives typical characteristics. 

Nitrile rubber, also known as nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene (Fig. 1). As a base polymer for Rubber-based adhesives, it provides a number of specialized properties, which supplement those summarized in the article Rubber-based adhesives typical characteristics. NBR adhesives comprise a range of materials that may differ in proportion of comonomer or may be compounded with other resins. NBR adhesives are characterized by high oil and plasticizer resistance, excellent heat resistance and high adhesion to metallic substrates.
