Rubber-Cal Buna-N Sheet - 0.125" Thick x 12" Width x 24" Length - 60A Durometer - Black - ASTM D2000 BG

Rubber-Cal’s Buna-N nitrile is an industrial-strength rubber sheeting with superior resistance to oil and fuel. Buna-N sheet rubber, also known as nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), is designed to withstand substances that can easily degrade most natural and synthetic rubbers, such as oil, grease, and gasoline. NBR material was created to perform well in industrial, commercial, and automotive applications. Like most synthetic elastomers, nitrile rubber was developed in the early 20th century to meet the newly industrialized demands of war. NBR sheet 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 rubber materials, this black nitrile 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 nitrile rubber apart from other elastomers, and have made it a dependable industrial choice for more than 80 years. This sleek black nitrile is extremely durable with a high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance. This NBR sheet has a durometer 60A to give the oil-resistant synthetic rubber a sturdy surface with moderate flexibility. The firm yet pliable nature makes this nitrile rubber great for a range of high-stress applications. With a working temperature range from -20 to 180° F, this grease-resistant sheet has increased resistance to temperature aging and can easily withstand the repeated heat and friction of industrial machinery. Rubber-Cal’s NBR rubber is actually synthetic rubber compound made up of nitrile, neoprene, and SBR to inherit the strengths of each synthetic elastomer. Thanks to this mix, the black nitrile has good levels of all-around resistance to oils, chemicals, and abrasions. This versatile nitrile product is designed to handle extreme exposure in long-term applications. This 1/8” sheet rubber is thin, but Rubber-Cal’s Nitrile sheet rubber is also available in a selection of gauges, lengths, and widths to fit a range of possible applications. Nitrile rubber is the perfect choice for applications in automotive and food processing settings because the NBR sheet won’t easily degrade from chemical exposure. In fact, the main advantage of this nitrile rubber over other kinds of sheet rubber material is its unrivalled grease resistance. The high amount of the polymer acrylonitrile in the nitrile material gives it superior resistance to natural and synthetic oils, greases, and chemicals that can easily degrade other types of synthetic rubber. It stands up to ammonia, zinc sulfate, alcohol, and mercury, among countless other substances that the thin rubber sheets might be exposed to in industrial applications. This unique resistance makes nitrile 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 NBR sheet rubber is ready for the job.

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” thickness is versatile for a range of possible high-stress applications. Ideal for applications in production, automotive, and food processing industries.
