Rubber-Cal Nitrile 3/16-in T x 12-in W x 24-in L Black Commercial 60A durometer Rubber Sheet

Rubber-Cal’s Buna-N sheet rubber is an industrial-strength elastomer sheeting with superior resistance to oil and fuel. Buna-N material, also known as nitrile butadiene rubber, is designed to withstand substances that can easily degrade most natural and artificial rubbers, such as oil, grease, and gasoline. Nitrile rubber was created to perform well in industrial, commercial, and automotive applications. Like most synthetic rubber materials, rubber NBR was developed in the early 20th century to meet the newly industrialized demands of war. Rubber NBR met an important need for the military by offering a rubber material with resistance to both natural and synthetic oils and greases. Unlike other synthetic rubber types, nitrile material contains a high amount of the polymer acrylonitrile, which gives the material a long lifespan even when it is expose to oils, fuels, and grease. It is this polymer and its added benefits that set rubber nitrile apart from other elastomers, and have made it a dependable industrial choice for more than 80 years.This sleek black rubber sheeting is extremely durable with a high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance. This NBR sheet has a durometer 60A to give the fuel-resistant rubber a sturdy surface with moderate flexibility. The firm yet pliable nature makes this NBR sheet great for a range of high-stress applications. With a working temperature range from -20 to 180° F, this oil-resistant rubber sheet has increased resistance to temperature aging and can easily withstand the repeated heat and friction of industrial machinery. Rubber-Cal’s Nitrile rubber sheets are actually synthetic rubber compound made up of nitrile, neoprene, and SBR to inherit the strengths of each rubber material. Thanks to this mix, the rubber NBR has good levels of all-around resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasions. This versatile NBR sheet is designed to handle extreme exposure in long-term applications.
