Nitrile Rubber Sheet Properties

Nitrile rubber displays good general resistance to oil together with good mechanical properties especially tensile strength compression set flexing and impermeability to gases.

Nitrile rubber sheet properties.

Nitrile rubber sheet black 0 8mm thick x 1200mm wide 60 duro per metre 0 8mm thick premium grade nitrile rubber sheeting. This is due to nitrile s compatibility with most environments as well as it s relative cost compared to other rubber materials. The pursuit of developing a new synthetic oil resistant rubber became imperative with the rapid industrialization of the western hemisphere. Nbr is used in the automotive and aeronautical industry to make fuel and oil handling hoses seals grommets.

Nitrile rubber sheet is manufactured from a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile with excellent mechanical properties. This rubber has excellent resistance to fuels and oils and is commonly used for making automotive gaskets and seals as well as gaskets for the marine sectors and seals for tanks and pipelines. The main commercial nitrile rubber sheet properties include a hardness of 70 and a temperature range between 15 c and 90 c. Comparing with neoprene rubber sheets this one also has the characteristic of chemical resistance but it is not suitable for applications in contact with antioxidant agents and chlorine.

In comparison to this we have bs2751 nitrile rubber sheets which are much more diverse for use in industrial applications. Nitrile is the most commonly used rubber material. It has moderate aging properties and good adhesion to metal. Trade names include perbunan nipol krynac and europrene this rubber is unusual in being resistant to oil fuel and other chemicals.

Before nitrile sheet rubber was developed manufacturers had to make do with natural rubber the supply and performance of which were erratic. Mykin s rn00170 nitrile buna n 70 durometer is a general purpose copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile.
