NBR Oil resistant rubber sheetings
NBR - nitrile rubber
NBR sheeting is specially formulated to prevent oil attack, meaning its mechanical properties remain intact even in direct contact with oils and grease.
Our range includes oil resistant nitrile rubber sheeting, specifically created to withstand contact with industrial oils, hydrocarbons, kerosene and high temperatures.
Our nitrile rubber sheeting is mainly used in the manufacture of seals and other elements for industrial environments, in food grades for the food processing and health industries, and in special applications as NBR rubber for transformer oil or dielectric oils for electrical installations and equipment.
What are the key benefits of using NBR oil resistant rubber sheeting in industrial applications?
NBR (nitrile rubber) sheeting is specially formulated to withstand exposure to oils, grease, and high temperatures, making it ideal for applications where contact with industrial oils and hydrocarbons is common. Its mechanical properties remain intact even under harsh conditions, which enhances durability and reliability in various applications.
How does the Shore hardness affect the performance of NBR rubber sheeting?
The Shore hardness of NBR rubber sheeting indicates its resistance to deformation. For example, Oil Resistant NBR rubber sheeting - 70 Shore provides a balance between flexibility and strength, making it suitable for demanding applications. Conversely, lower Shore hardness like that found in Oil resistant rubber (NBR) 65 Shore - 7-8Mpa offers greater flexibility, ideal for applications requiring more intricate shapes.
Can NBR rubber sheeting be used in food applications?
Yes, NBR rubber sheeting can be formulated for food safety. The White NBR Rubber Sheeting for foods is specifically designed to meet FDA regulations, ensuring it is safe for use in food processing and handling environments while still providing excellent oil resistance.
