Nitrile Rubber: A Material Made for Oil Resistance

Unlike natural rubber and other materials, nitrile gaskets and other parts are more resistant to heat aging. This feature is a key advantage, as it allows nitrile to not harden and lose its damping capability as quickly as natural rubber and other solutions. Nitrile rubber is also a great material choice for applications that require abrasion resistance and metal adhesion.

Due to its versatility and strong resistances, nitrile material is used in applications involving not only oil, fuel, and chemical resistance, but also those that require resistance to heat, abrasion, water, and gas permeability. From oil rigs to bowling alleys, nitrile rubber can be the right material for your application.

RUGAVAL works with a wide variety of companies to provide custom molded and die cut nitrile parts with demanding physical properties. Whether you call them Buna-N seals, NBR o-rings, or something else, our team can design and provide the best, most cost-effective custom molded or die cut parts for your applications.
