Zeon is broadly known as the market leader for specialty heat- and oil-resistant elastomers. Our flagship elastomer – Zetpol® ... HNBR – has steadily established itself as the premier elastomer for applications demanding both superior heat/oil resistance as well as toughness and durability. Today, Zetpol is broadly utilized in automotive underhood applications, including for timing belts. Zeon is the global leader for specialty nitrile (NBR) elastomers, offering a broader range of specialty grades – including powder, liquid, ground, carboxylated, and NBR-PVC blends – than any other global producer.
