Nitrile Rubber Gaskets

A Comprehensive Guide

The Resilience of Nitrile:

Nitrile rubber stands out for its ability to resist swelling when exposed to oil and fuel substances. This unique feature ensures that nitrile rubber gaskets maintain their sealing capabilities even in the harshest environments, making them a reliable choice for challenging conditions in engines and high-temperature machinery.

Temperature Resistance:

One of the key advantages of nitrile gaskets is their wide operating temperature range, allowing them to function exceptionally well in high-temperature environments. This quality makes nitrile gaskets the ideal sealing material for various applications where temperature extremes are a concern.

Manufacturing Excellence:

At our facilities, we produce nitrile rubber gaskets using large sheets of nitrile, ensuring seamless, large-format gaskets without any joins or abnormalities. Our precision cutting machinery enables us to create both small and complex gaskets with accuracy and efficiency.

Material Grades and Compounds:

To cater to diverse needs, we offer nitrile rubber gaskets in various material grades and compounds. Here are some of our popular options:

BS2751 Grade:

  • Developed to conform to British safety standards.
  • Features oil, fuel, and chemical resistance suitable for construction and industrial applications.

Fuel Resistant Nitrile/PVC:

  • Ideal for fuel processing and transportation applications.
  • Ensures fuel remains contaminant-free and minimises material swelling.

Food Contact Grade:

  • Conforms to FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 standards for food and beverage contact.
  • Combines flame retardant properties with high-temperature resistance, making it suitable for industrial food processing.

Economy/Commercial Grade:

  • Cost-efficient alternative with similar physical properties.
  • Suitable for low-pressure applications where extensive fuel and oil resistance is not critical.

Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR):

  • Superior resistance and physical properties compared to standard nitrile grades.
  • Suitable for abrasive or hard-wearing applications, featuring resistance against various oils and fuels.

Gas Approved Nitrile:

  • Conforms to BS EN 682:2002 specifications.
  • Provides superior resistance against gas and hydrocarbon fluid deterioration, with excellent tensile strength and flexibility.
