Buna-N Nitrile Rubber Sheet
Buna-N Nitrile, also known as NBR or nitrile rubber, is one of the most widely used elastomers for rubber sheeting. Resistant to numerous chemicals, greases, oils, and other substances, NBR is a highly versatile rubber sheet material. These durable rubber sheets are used for a variety of sealing and leakproofing applications in a wide range of industries.
At Ace Seal, we offer a large selection of standard and custom-cut rubber sheets to provide you with exactly what you need. Contact us with any questions or to learn more about Buna-N rubber sheets.
What is Buna-N Nitrile?
Buna-N Nitrile is among the most popular synthetic rubbers used for sealing and protecting against harmful contaminants. While the unique makeup of a rubber sheet determines its exact attributes, generally, Buna-N Nitrile rubber sheets with increased nitrile content maintain a higher resistance to oils and a lower physical flexibility. NBR is often resistant to many chemicals, such as oils, solvents, silicone greases, diluted acids, alcohols, and more. Rubber sheets made from Buna-N Nitrile display increased durability and rigidness for challenging applications.
Buna-N Nitrile Rubber Sheet Advantages
NBR is widely used in the sealing industry for a reason. Its versatility and numerous advantages make it applicable in virtually all industries. In addition to excellent durability and resistance to oils, Buna-N Nitrile is operational within a wide temperature range of -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C). It has a tensile range of 200-3000 psi and excellent resistance to abrasion or duress.
Additional benefits of Buna-N Nitrile rubber sheeting include:
- Excellent Hardness & Stability
- Good Rebound
- Hardness Range (Durometer): 40-90
- Impermeability
- Long Service Life
- Tear Resistance
- Water Resistance
Using Buna-N Nitrile Rubber Sheets
Nitrile rubber sheets are hard and durable, perfect for heavy-duty or abrasive projects. They can be used for a variety of applications, including gaskets and O-rings, transmission belts, oil seals, gloves, V belts, and more. As a highly versatile material, Buna-N nitrile rubber sheets provide excellent sealing solutions for all types of projects.
NBR can be used for leakproof applications in virtually all industries, including but not limited to:
- Aerospace
- Automotive & Transportation
- Chemical Processing
- Dental
- Fuel Tanks
- Medical
Do not use Buna-N nitrile rubber sheet material with brake fluids or acetones, as these substances can degrade or destroy the material.
