The Finance Ministry has imposed definitive anti-dumping duty on acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) imports from South Korea.
NBR-which is also known as nitrile rubber– is widely used in defence, automobile, footwear, fabrics, printers, oil field products industries.
It is primarily used where oil resistance, abrasion resistance and heat resistance applications are resolved. NBR is mostly used by the non-tyre sector although it finds very small application in tyre sector also.
Omnova Solutions (India) Pvt Ltd had filed the petition seeking sunset review investigations on NBR imports from South Korea.
