✓ Why Nitrile is Essential for Oil & Fuel Applications
-
Exceptional Oil & Fuel Resistance
Resists petroleum oils, diesel, petrol, hydraulic fluids, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Won't swell, soften, or degrade like standard rubber. -
Wide Temperature Range: -40°C to +120°C
Maintains performance in extreme cold and high heat. Ideal for engine compartments, fuel systems, and outdoor applications. -
High Tear & Tensile Strength
Superior mechanical properties ensure durability under stress, pressure, and continuous use. Won't tear or fail prematurely. -
Chemical & Abrasion Resistant
Withstands exposure to mineral oils, greases, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and mild acids. Excellent abrasion resistance for long service life. -
Flexible Yet Strong
Maintains form under pressure while remaining flexible enough for complex shapes and tight seals. -
5 Thickness Options: 1.5mm to 6mm
Choose the right specification for your application – from thin gaskets to heavy-duty seals.

Nitrile vs Other Rubber Materials
Nitrile vs Natural Rubber:
- ✓ 10x better oil and fuel resistance
- ✓ Superior chemical resistance
- ✓ Better high-temperature performance
- ✗ Lower flexibility at very low temperatures
Nitrile vs SBR:
- ✓ Far superior oil and fuel resistance
- ✓ Better chemical resistance
- ✓ Higher temperature capability
- ✗ Slightly higher cost (but essential for oil/fuel contact)
Nitrile vs EPDM:
- ✓ Excellent oil and fuel resistance (EPDM has poor oil resistance)
- ✓ Better for petroleum applications
- ✗ EPDM better for weather/ozone (use nitrile for oil, EPDM for weather)
Easy Fabrication & Installation
Nitrile rubber is simple to work with using standard workshop tools:
- ✓ Cut with sharp knife or scissors
- ✓ Punch with standard dies
- ✓ Bond with nitrile-compatible adhesives
- ✓ No special equipment required
Can be die-cut for custom gaskets or used as sheet material for larger sealing applications.
Chemical Compatibility
Excellent Resistance:
- ✓ Petroleum oils and greases
- ✓ Mineral oils
- ✓ Diesel and petrol fuels
- ✓ Hydraulic fluids (petroleum-based)
- ✓ Aliphatic hydrocarbons
- ✓ Mild acids and alkalis
Not Recommended For:
- ✗ Strong acids and oxidizing agents
- ✗ Ketones and esters
- ✗ Chlorinated and aromatic hydrocarbons (use Viton instead)
- ✗ Ozone and weather exposure (use EPDM instead)
Contact our technical team if you're unsure about chemical compatibility for your specific application.
