Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber is a type of synthetic rubber that is known for its excellent resistance to heat, oils, and chemicals. HNBR is produced through the hydrogenation process of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), which enhances its thermal stability and durability. The hydrogenation process saturates the double bonds in the polymer chain, reducing susceptibility to aging, ozone degradation, and environmental factors. This unique composition of HNBR makes it particularly suitable for timing belts, which operate under high stress and demanding conditions.

If the timing belt were to slip or break, the consequences could be catastrophic. For interference engines, a timing belt failure can result in the pistons striking the open valves, leading to extensive internal damage. Conversely, in non-interference engines, a broken timing belt will simply cause the engine to stop running, but the risk of serious damage remains. Therefore, the timing belt's integrity and functionality are vital for a vehicle's overall health.

The synchronization achieved by the timing belt is vital for the engine to function properly. When the crankshaft rotates, it drives the pistons up and down. The camshaft, meanwhile, regulates the opening and closing of the engine's valves. If these two components are not perfectly aligned—if, for instance, the timing belt were to slip or break—the engine could experience severe issues, including misfires, loss of power, and in extreme cases, catastrophic engine failure.
