NBR Gaskets

Product specification

Material and function

Nitrile rubber is used where contact with mineral oils, lubricants or fuels guides the selection. Acrylonitrile content affects oil resistance and low-temperature flexibility, so the compound should be selected for the operating conditions.

Benefits and options

• Oil-contact sealing
• Wear resistance and mechanical strength
• Solid or selected foam forms

Manufacturing and customization

Sheets and suitable foams can be precision converted into gasket outlines. Molding is considered where the geometry needs a three-dimensional seal. Choose the cutting route and adhesive backing for the material and shape.

Design considerations

Select the material grade for contact media, operating temperature and mechanical loading. Include the installed compression, mating surfaces and expected service conditions when reviewing the component. Confirm performance using the selected compound and a representative sample.
