NITRILE SHEET

Nitrile rubber or acrylonitrile butadiene rubber is a co-polymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile. It has good general resistance to oil along with good mechanical properties, especially tensile strength, flexing, compression set and impermeability to gases. It has moderate aging properties and good adhesion to metal. Its recommended operating temperature range is -30° C to + 120° C. It also displays a good resistance to inorganic chemical products except antioxidant agents and chlorine. It gives satisfactory resistance to general hydrocarbons. Due to its polar nature, we do not recommend its use with polar liquids like ketones, ethers and amines.

​

Nitrile is a ASTM 2000 Classification: BF, BG, and BK.

INDUSTRIES AND USES

  • Nitrile is used in the automotive industry for engine systems including fuel systems and gaskets that come in contact with oil. Nitrile is also widely used in the Oil and Gas industry for seals and tubing. the military also uses nitrile for fuel systems, engine housings and any mechanical, flight or marine environment exposed to oil.
