Abstract
In this study the replacement of DEHP (bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate), also known as DOP (dioctyl phthalate), DBP (dibutyl phthalate) and DINP (diisononyl phthalate) with a plasticiser derived from sunflower oil, Pionier TP 130 B, in several compounds based on nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is discussed. The work describes and compares the vulcanisation behaviour, physical properties before and after ageing, and resistance in different media of the new phthalate-free NBR compounds to the traditional phthal-ate-based NBR compounds. In addition, it is demons trated that Pionier TP 130 B provides excellent physical properties and resistance to ageing in various NBR applications.
