Commercial Grade Nitrile Rubber Sheet (NBR)

Superior oil resistance for automotive, industrial, and petroleum applications

Technical Specification

Material: Nitrile Rubber (NBR)

Hardness: 60 ± 5 Shore A

Width: 1.4 metres (standard)

Thickness Range: 1.5mm – 25mm

Temperature Range: -30°C to +100°C

Sold: Per Linear Metre

Engineered for Oil & Fuel Resistance

Our commercial-grade nitrile rubber sheet (NBR) represents the industry standard for applications requiring exceptional resistance to petroleum oils, fuels, and hydrocarbon-based fluids. Meticulously engineered from acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, this high-performance elastomer delivers reliable sealing and protection in the most demanding automotive, industrial, and petroleum environments.

Unlike natural rubber or EPDM compounds that degrade rapidly when exposed to mineral oils, nitrile rubber maintains its physical properties, dimensional stability, and sealing integrity even under continuous petroleum exposure. This makes NBR the material of choice for fuel systems, hydraulic seals, oil-handling equipment, and any application where hydrocarbon resistance is critical.

Chemical & Fluid Resistance

Excellent Resistance — Petroleum oils, mineral oils, hydraulic fluids, diesel fuel, petrol, kerosene
Good Resistance — Aliphatic hydrocarbons, vegetable oils, animal fats, silicone oils, greases
Moderate Resistance — Dilute acids, dilute alkalis, water (short-term exposure)
Poor Resistance — Aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene), ketones, ozone, strong acids
Alternative Materials — Specify EPDM for ozone/weather resistance, neoprene for balanced properties

Applications & Industries

Automotive & Transport

Fuel system gaskets, oil seals, hydraulic hoses, transmission seals, engine bay components

Petroleum & Oil Industry

Tank liners, pump seals, pipeline gaskets, fuel storage containment, oil-handling equipment

Hydraulic Systems

Cylinder seals, O-rings, hydraulic pump gaskets, pressure vessel seals, fluid power systems

Industrial Manufacturing

Machine gaskets, oil-resistant conveyor belts, protective padding, workshop bench liners

Why Specify Nitrile Rubber (NBR)?

Nitrile rubber's unique molecular structure provides unmatched resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels—properties that natural rubber, EPDM, and silicone cannot deliver. The acrylonitrile content (typically 18-50%) determines oil resistance: higher acrylonitrile grades offer superior oil resistance but reduced low-temperature flexibility. Our commercial-grade NBR balances excellent oil resistance with good mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness, making it the industry standard for automotive, hydraulic, and petroleum applications.

Sheet Width: 1.4 metres (standard)

Pricing: Per linear metre (1.4m² per metre)

Colour: Black (standard)

Roll Length: Typically 10 metres (full rolls available)

UK stock held for rapid dispatch. Custom thicknesses, full roll pricing, and die-cutting services available on request. For outdoor/weather applications, please specify EPDM or neoprene rubber.

Fabrication & Installation

Nitrile rubber sheet can be easily cut, punched, and fabricated using standard workshop tools. Sharp utility knives, die-cutting presses, and water-jet cutting all produce clean edges. The material bonds well with nitrile-compatible contact adhesives and can be vulcanized for permanent joints in critical sealing applications.

Gasket Fabrication: Ideal for custom gasket cutting using templates, CNC cutting, or manual fabrication. Maintains dimensional stability and sealing force under compression.

Typical Lead Time: Cut-to-length orders dispatched within 3-5 working days. Custom die-cutting, gasket fabrication, and large-volume orders available with project-specific lead times.

Technical Support & Project Assistance

Our technical team provides complimentary material selection guidance, chemical compatibility verification, thickness recommendations, and custom fabrication quotes for automotive, hydraulic, and industrial projects. Contact us for project-specific advice, bulk pricing, and die-cutting services.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rubber compounds are available?

We supply SBR (general purpose), EPDM (weatherproof, outdoor), nitrile (oil-resistant), neoprene (chemical-resistant) and natural rubber. Choose the compound based on your application requirements.

Can rubber sheet be cut to a custom size?

Yes — all rubber sheet is available cut to your exact size. Specify your dimensions at checkout or contact us for a bespoke cut.

What thickness do I need?

For light-duty surface protection, 2–3mm is sufficient. Workshop and industrial applications typically use 4–6mm. Heavy machinery bases and anti-vibration applications use 10–25mm.

Is the rubber sheet RoHS/food-safe compliant?

Compliance varies by compound. EPDM and silicone grades are available in food-safe specifications. Contact us with your compliance requirements.

What is the maximum sheet size available?

Standard roll widths are 1m and 1.4m. Lengths vary by compound and thickness. Contact us for oversized requirements or full roll pricing.
