This graph has one purpose: To
illustrate the percentage of volume
swell for Firestone nitriles in typical
applications. Conclusion: All nitriles
do not react alike.
But this graph is just part of the
story. There are n o w over 23
Firestone nitrile rubbers and latexes
to choose from. With more being
developed all the time. So, whether
