Buna-N Sheet - 0.093" Thick x 36" Width x 24" Length - 60A Durometer - Black - ASTM D2000 BG

Rubber-Cal’s Buna-N sheet rubber is an industrial-strength rubber material with superior resistance to oil and fuel. Buna-N nitrile, also known as nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), is designed to withstand substances that can easily degrade most natural and synthetic elastomers, such as oil, grease, and gasoline. NBR rubber was created to perform well in industrial, commercial, and automotive applications. Like most synthetic rubber materials, nitrile elastomer was developed in the early 20th century to meet the newly industrialized demands of war. NBR rubber met an important need for the military by offering an elastomer sheet with resistance to both natural and synthetic oils and greases. Unlike other kinds of rubber material, this NBR sheet 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 NBR rubber apart from other elastomers, and have made it a dependable industrial choice for more than 80 years. This sleek nitrile rubber is extremely durable with a high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance. This elastomer sheeting has a durometer 60A to give the grease-resistant rubber a sturdy surface with moderate flexibility. The firm yet pliable nature makes this NBR rubber great for a range of high-stress applications. With a working temperature range from -20 to 180° F, this fuel-resistant rubber sheet has increased resistance to temperature aging and can easily withstand the repeated heat and friction of industrial machinery. Rubber-Cal’s Nitrile rubber is actually synthetic rubber compound made up of nitrile, neoprene, and SBR to inherit the strengths of each rubber material. Thanks to this mix, the nitrile rubber has good levels of all-around resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasions. This versatile synthetic rubber product is designed to handle extreme exposure in long-term applications. This 3/32” sheet rubber is thin, but Rubber-Cal’s Nitrile rubber is also available in a selection of gauges, lengths, and widths to fit a range of possible applications. NBR rubber is the perfect choice for applications in automotive and food processing settings because the nitrile sheet won’t easily degrade from chemical exposure. In fact, the main advantage of this NBR rubber over other kinds of rubber material is its unrivalled grease resistance. The high amount of the polymer acrylonitrile in the NBR material gives it superior resistance to natural and synthetic oils, greases, and chemicals that can easily degrade other synthetic rubbers. It stands up to ammonia, zinc sulfate, alcohol, and mercury, among countless other substances that the oil-resistant rubber sheets might be exposed to in industrial applications. This unique resistance makes NBR rubber a dependable choice for long-lasting machinery components. Whether you want to use it for protective padding or to make industrial gaskets, Rubber-Cal’s Nitrile rubber is ready for the job.
