Rubber-Cal Buna-N material is an industrial-strength synthetic rubber sheeting that has excellent oil resistance Substances such as oil, grease, and gasoline can easily degrade most natural and synthetic elastomers, but Buna-N sheet rubber is designed to withstand Also known as nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), nitrile elastomer was created to perform well in industrial, commercial, and automotive applications Most synthetic rubber materials were developed in the early 20th century to meet the newly industrialized demands of war, and NBR rubber is no exception Rubber nitrile met an important need for the military by offering an elastomer sheet with resistance to both natural and synthetic oils and greases Unlike other types of synthetic rubber, NBR rubber 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 NBR rubber is extremely durable with a high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance Rubber-Cal nitrile rubber sheets are actually synthetic rubber compound made up of nitrile, neoprene, and SBR to inherit the strengths of each sheet rubber material This gives the nitrile sheets good levels of all-around resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasions This gasoline resistant rubber has a durometer 60A, giving the industrial rubber sheets a sturdy surface with moderate flexibility The firm yet pliable nature makes this elastomer sheet great for a range of high-stress applications With a working temperature range from -20 to 180 F, this NBR sheet has increased resistance to temperature aging and can easily withstand the repeated heat and friction of industrial machinery These self-adhesive rubber sheets also come with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing for easy DIY installation
Nitrile boasts superior resistance to many natural and synthetic oils, greases, and fuels
60A durometer means the material has a hard surface with moderate flexibility
Great for industrial applications with a temperature range from -20 to 180° F
1/8-in thickness is versatile for a range of possible high-stress applications
Backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) for easy do-it-yourself applications
