Changes in the mechanical properties of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR)/Poly (vinyl chloride) resin binary blend were investigated. Poly (vinyl chloride) resin additives were within range (0 - 70) wt.%, and the measured mechanical properties included tensile strength, elongation, and compression strength. The obtained results showed that the tensile and elongation value of NBR starts to decrease with the addition of PVC resin to reach the maximum decrease at 70%, where the tensile strength was reduced by 85.23% and elongation by 90.44%. On the other hand, the compression strength of NBR improved after PVC resin addition and the optimum improvement was 82.55% at 70% PVC resin.
