    DUESSELDORF, Germany—Zeon has developed a new high-performance hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber compounding technology, the Japanese company has announced.

    The new Zetpol compounds, said Zeon, can be used for sealing applications and feature improvements in compression set, long-term aging and processability.

    The material “contains unique polymer architecture and a specific cure site monomer in the polymer chain,” said Kai Kremer, recently assigned commercial manager of the HNBR division at Zeon Europe.

    This, said Kremer, gives improved compression set resistance compared to conventional peroxide-cured HNBR.
