HYDROGENATED NITRILE RUBBER HNBR MARKET OVERVIEW

Global hydrogenated nitrile rubber (hnbr) market size was USD 0.53 Billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.91 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period.

The unusual elastomer known as hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) is created by hydrogenating regular nitrile rubber. Compared to nitrile rubbers, it is more resistant to chemicals and oil. Between nitrile rubber and (per)fluor elastomers in price range, HNBR elastomers offer a variety of performance. It fills a need in several application areas where heat resistance and resistance to abrasive media are requirements. The mechanical qualities of hydrogenated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber include resistance to heat, oil, chemicals, and ozone. It is used for a variety of things, including roller covers, belts, hoses, seals, and diaphragms. Rapid growth in the demand for greater heat resistance and longer service lives in automotive sealing applications is what propels the manufacturing of HNBR.

 The growing demand from different end-use sectors, including the automotive, construction, and oil & gas industries, as well as rising consumer desire for high-quality rubber products, are some of the key drivers propelling the market expansion for hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR).
