Nitrile rubber gaskets are made of a synthetic rubber called nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR). NBR is a versatile material that is resistant to a wide range of fluids, including oils, solvents, and fuels. It is also resistant to abrasion. has good tensile strength and can be used in a wide range of temperatures. This makes nitrile rubber gaskets ideal for use in a variety of applications including the automotive, chemical and food industries.

Nitrile rubber gaskets are a reliable and versatile sealing solution for a variety of applications. They are resistant to a wide range of fluids, abrasion, and temperature extremes.
A popular option in food and pharmaceutical processing operations due to its performance against animal fats, fish oils, greases and vegetable oils, and its highly identifiable colour can help to reduce the risk of product contamination.
This high-quality gasket material is a popular option in the food processing industry due to its performance against vegetable oils, animal fats, fish oils and greases. It is suitable for repeated use in food contact applications.
Metal detectable nitrile rubber gaskets are cut from a synthetic elastomer that contains additives which are visible to the majority of metal detector scanning equipment.
The manufacturing process of Nitrile rubber gaskets begins with the formulation of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR) compound. This compound is created by blending butadiene and acrylonitrile monomers to achieve the desired balance of properties, such as oil resistance and flexibility. It then undergoes a shaping process to form sheets of Nitrile rubber. These sheets are then precision-cut into the required gasket shapes using die-cutting or waterjet-cutting machines, ensuring precise dimensions and specifications.

Nitrile rubber gaskets are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and hardness. The hardness of the gasket is important to select the right gasket for the application. Hard gaskets are more resistant to abrasion, while soft gaskets are more flexible. They can be used in a wide range of temperatures.
