Parker’s N1231-80 is an 80 Shore A black hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) compound engineered specifically for explosive decompression and rapid gas decompression (RGD) resistant sealing applications. The hydrogenated nitrile formulation delivers improved thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength compared to standard NBR, supporting reliable service across a temperature range of approximately -25°F to 300°F, with short-term capability up to 325°F. This compound performs well in petroleum-based hydraulic oils, motor oils, transmission fluids, greases, R134a refrigerant, water and glycol mixtures, steam, and HFA, HFB, and HFC hydraulic fluids. Its resistance to ozone, aging, and environmental exposure contributes to long-term durability in demanding pressure-cycling environments.
N1231-80 is commonly used for O-rings and gaskets in oil and gas equipment, hydraulic systems, valves, compressors, and other components where resistance to rapid decompression and gas permeation is critical. It is not recommended for polar solvents such as ketones and esters, strong acids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, or automotive and aircraft brake fluids. This HNBR grade is selected when RGD resistance and mechanical robustness are required without transitioning to higher-cost perfluoroelastomers. Canyon Components offers equivalent HNBR materials designed to match the explosive decompression performance, temperature capability, and fluid compatibility of Parker N1231-80.
