Process for the preparation of partially hydrogenated nitrile rubbers

Process for the preparation of partially hydrogenated nitrile rubbers with residual double bond contents of between 2.0 and 5.0% characterized in that at least two partially hydrogenated nitrile rubbers with residual double bond contents of 1.5 to 7.5%, the residual double bond content of one nitrile rubber being above and the residual double bond content of the other nitrile rubber being below the predetermined set value, are mixed in amounts such that each of the individual rubbers is at least 10% by weight of the total mixture, the nitrile rubbers contain 85 to 50% by weight of a conjugated diene, 15 to 50% by weight of an unsaturated nitrile and 0 to 10% by weight of at least one further monomer which is copolymerizable with the conjugated diene and the unsaturated nitrile, and at most 25% by weight of partially hydrogenated nitrile rubbers with residual double bond contents of 5 to 7.5% are incorporated in the mixture.
