The subject of the study were rubber mixtures based on hydrogenated butadiene-nitrile rubbers (HNBR) Therban, Zetpol, NBR-B with an acrylonitrile (AN) content of 34% to 49% and unsaturation of 0.9% to 22% with sulfuric, peroxide and sulfuric-peroxide cure systems. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the AN content and the degree of unsaturation of HNBR on the properties of rubbers in products designed for operation under the influence of fuels and oils at increased temperatures.The results of the determination of the mass swelling of rubbers in hydrocarbon media and the relative elongation in the process of thermal aging in air and in oil at increased temperatures are presented. The conclusion was made on the use of HNBR mixture with maximum content of AN (49%), with low (6%) and extremely low (0.9%) ODS content and sulfuric peroxide cure system to extend the product service temperature limit to 150°C.
