What are nitrile rubber gasket sheets
Nitrile rubber gasket sheets are sealing materials made from NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber), a synthetic elastomer known for its strong resistance to oils, fuels and greases. These sheets are commonly used in industrial applications where contact with hydrocarbons is expected.
Nitrile rubber gasket material combines good mechanical strength with reliable sealing performance, making it suitable for a wide range of technical sealing applications.
When to use nitrile rubber gasket material
Nitrile rubber gasket material is used when resistance to oil, fuel or lubricants is a key requirement. It performs well under moderate temperatures and pressures and is commonly selected for systems involving petroleum-based media.
NBR gasket sheets are less suitable for outdoor applications with continuous UV, ozone or weather exposure, and are typically used in controlled industrial environments.
Applications of nitrile rubber gasket material
Nitrile rubber gasket sheets are applied in flanges, pumps, compressors and sealing interfaces in hydraulic systems, engines and fuel installations. They are widely used in automotive, industrial maintenance and general engineering.
NBR gasket sheets can be cut into custom gasket shapes, rings or seals, making them suitable for both OEM use and replacement gaskets in maintenance operations.
