01 / Product overview
What is NBR Foam?
NBR foam is a nitrile rubber foam discussed for fuel, hydraulic and oil-exposed industrial seals. Suitability for oil contact depends on the actual medium, temperature, duration and proposed grade.
Use the available forms and source ranges as a starting point, then confirm geometry, environment, sample requirements and production route for your application.
Discuss your application02 / Benefits
Key selection considerations
cell structure and hardness selection
Record cell structure, thickness, hardness scale and the method used for the proposed grade.
environment and media considerations
Describe the actual medium, temperature and contact duration before requesting compatibility evidence.
gasket and die-cut formats
Show the joint, installed gap and retention or backing requirements on the gasket drawing.
oil-exposed equipment
Identify the mating surfaces and the installed compression condition that the sample must represent.
industrial gaskets
Record exposed and protected locations, fluid contact and the conditions requiring grade-specific evidence.
automotive components
Agree the assembled joint check and its acceptance owner; dimensional fit alone does not prove sealing performance.

09 / NBR Foam FAQs
NBR Foam FAQs
Questions to settle before sampling or production.
What is nbr foam used for?
This series is planned for oil-exposed equipment, industrial gaskets, automotive components, with the final material, format and performance requirements confirmed against the project brief.
Can the format or dimensions be customized?
Yes. The project discussion can cover custom format, dimensions and processing route. Final tolerances, tooling and minimum order conditions require confirmation.
Are the listed specifications final?
The listed ranges are sourced from the supplied product materials and remain subject to the applicable TDS, test method and commercial confirmation before publication as a specification commitment.
How do I request a material recommendation?
Send the application, target dimensions, working environment and expected volume. The team can then review the material family and manufacturing route for the project.
