What is a Nitrile Rubber Sheet?
Nitrile rubber sheet, commonly known as NBR rubber sheet or Buna-N sheet, is a synthetic elastomer made from a copolymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is the industry standard material for applications requiring resistance to petroleum oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and greases, outperforming natural rubber, EPDM, and neoprene in direct oil and fuel contact environments.
The oil resistance of an NBR sheet increases with its acrylonitrile (NBR) polymer content. Duratuf provides nitrile rubber sheets across four grades, from 10% to 100% NBR polymer, allowing procurement teams to match the right performance level to their specific application and budget. Tensile strength ranges from 4 MPa (Lite) to 10 MPa (Max), and working temperatures span from -10°C to +110°C across the range.
All Duratuf nitrile rubber sheets are ASTM tested (D412, D2240, D297), REACH and RoHS certified, and available in standard dimensions of 2mm to 12mm thickness x 1.2m x 10m. Both sides carry a smooth plain finish, making them easy to cut, fabricate, and install across a wide range of industrial sealing, lining, and protection applications.

How Do We Ensure Certified Quality in our Nitrile Sheet?

Polymer Content Analysis
NBR polymer concentration is verified per batch to ensure each grade, Lite through Max, meets its specified acrylonitrile content and chemical resistance profile

Oil Immersion Testing
Samples are immersed in ASTM reference oils and industrial fuels for approximately 70 hours and tested for volume swell and hardness change before release

Mechanical Stress
Tensile strength and elongation at break are tested to ASTM D412 using calibrated universal testing machines. Every batch must meet specified minimums before dispatch

Precise Dimension
Sheet thickness is monitored digitally across the roll width to maintain tolerance and ensure consistent fabrication and installation performance
Industrial Applications of Duratuf Nitrile Rubber Sheets
- Gasketing & Sealing (Light to Heavy Duty): From basic gaskets in workshops to fuel system and explosion-proof seals, the sheets serve diverse sealing needs, resisting oil, fuel, and pressure in both general and critical applications.
- Padding, Vibration & Insulation: Used as anti-vibration pads, engine bay insulation, and shock-absorbing inserts under motors or in machinery setups to reduce noise, wear, and movement.
- Protective Liners & Flooring: Ideal for toolbox liners, garage underlays, and store flooring, offering a clean, oil-resistant surface in areas with moderate to high foot traffic and mechanical activity.
- Industrial Safety & Surface Protection: Deployed as temporary mats, pipe wraps, splash barriers, and containment base sheets, these prevent damage from oil, grease, or chemical spills in industrial environments.
- Specialty & High-Performance Use: Engineered for fuel tank lining, hydraulic insulation, oil rig mounts, and chemical zone flooring, delivering long-term reliability in the most demanding oil & gas and manufacturing settings.
