Nitrile rubber sheeting, also known as NBR rubber, Buna-N, or Perbunan, is a high-performance synthetic elastomer known for its excellent resistance to petroleum based fluids, including oils, greases, and many hydrocarbons. Due to its durability and chemical resistance, nitrile rubber is a popular choice in automotive, industrial, and manufacturing applications.
While standard nitrile offers good abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and moderate mechanical properties, it is unsuitable for contact with ketones. If you require nitrile rubber with enhanced technical properties or regulatory compliance, we offer specialist grades, including:
- BS 2751 nitrile rubber
- Blue and white food quality nitrile (FDA, EU compliant)
- Blue metal detectable nitrile – ideal for food processing and pharmaceutical environments
These grades conform to British and American food safety regulations, ensuring safe use in sensitive environments.
Nitrile sheet can be supplied in rolls, precision cut into gaskets, or fabricated into sleeves to suit specific industrial needs. It is also available for purchase online via PAR Direct, which allows for quick and easy ordering.
