Nitrile Rubber Sheets (NBR)
Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd supply a wide range of high-quality solid rubber materials, including nitrile rubber (NBR) sheets, ideal for applications where oil, fuel, and chemical resistance are essential.
Our nitrile sheets are manufactured in roll form, typically 1.4 meters wide by 10 meters long, with thicknesses starting at 1mm. These can be supplied as full rolls or cut to bespoke sizes, with a choice of plain or self-adhesive finishes using our in-house laminating service.
What are Nitrile Rubber Sheets?
Nitrile rubber, also known as Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), is a synthetic elastomer produced from a copolymer of acrylonitrile (ACN) and butadiene. This material is commonly used in industries requiring high resistance to oils, fuels, and gases.
Nitrile sheets can be purchased as pre-cut sizes or as full rolls, providing the flexibility to cut your own strips, gaskets, washers, or pads as needed. They are widely used for automotive seals, fuel hoses, gaskets, and rollers in the printing industry, as well as for general industrial applications requiring durable, oil-resistant rubber.

Why Use Nitrile Rubber Sheets?
Nitrile rubber sheets offer excellent mechanical and chemical resistance, making them suitable for:
- Creating airtight, watertight, and dust-proof seals
- Automotive applications, including belting, hoses, and oil seals
- Hydraulic and engine components are exposed to oils and fuels.
- Industrial gaskets and extrusions
Nitrile’s anti-swell properties, which help it maintain sealing capabilities under exposure to oils and fuels, make it a popular choice across the automotive, aerospace, and engineering industries.
Different Grades of Nitrile Rubber
Through our network of trusted material suppliers, ASG can offer multiple nitrile grades to suit specific applications:
- BS 2751 Nitrile: High-quality synthetic elastomer with improved tensile strength, elongation at break, and a wider temperature range (-30°C to +110°C). Available in 40°–80° Shore hardness.
- Blue Metal Detectable Nitrile: Contains an additive visible to metal detectors, ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications, with excellent tear and abrasion resistance.
- Food Quality (FDA) Nitrile: Available in white or blue, compliant with EC & FDA regulations, suitable for food and pharmaceutical processing, resistant to animal, fish, and vegetable oils and greases.
Benefits of Nitrile Rubber Sheets
- Resistant to water, mineral oils, petrol, and fuels
- Can be formed into complex seals, extrusions, and gaskets
