Harltex NBR Rubber – Nitrile rubber
The reliable Elastomer for Oil, Fuel & Industrial Applications
NBR, also known as Buna-N, is a synthetic rubber made from acrylonitrile and butadiene.
It is valued for its oil resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness, making it one of the most widely used elastomers across industries.
• Adjustable formulation for oil/fuel resistance or low-temperature flexibility
• Proven in demanding environments for over 70 years.
• Available in standard, food-grade, and specialty grades
Key Features
✔ Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, hydrocarbons
✔ Good mechanical strength & abrasion resistance
✔ Moderate temperature range: –30 °C to +120 °C
✔ Reliable sealing with good compression set resistance
✔ Full range available & cost-effective solutions
Applications – Seals, Gaskets, O-Rings, Hoses and Gloves
NBR is a versatile elastomer used across industries where oil, fuel, and chemical resistance are essential. From seals, gaskets, hoses, and diaphragms in automotive and industrial systems to disposable gloves in healthcare and fuel system components in aerospace, NBR delivers proven durability and performance in demanding environments.
Industrial & Automotive
- O-rings, gaskets, seals
- Fuel & oil hoses, hydraulic systems.
- Diaphragms, membranes, pump components
Protective & Consumer
- Disposable nitrile gloves
- Conveyor belts, rollers, footwear, coatings
Aerospace & Specialty
- Fuel system seals and hoses
- Synthetic leather and adhesives
Beyond Sealing: Wider Applications for FKM
While O-rings and gaskets are the most common uses of FKM, VIT700 is a material suited to much broader applications. For example:
- Automotive – hoses, diaphragms, and fuel system components.
- Aerospace – fluid transfer systems, engine components, and insulation materials.
- Industrial Processing – chemical-resistant linings, expansion joints, and valve components.
- Energy & Oil/Gas – seals, packers, and parts exposed to aggressive hydrocarbons and sour gas.
- Consumer Products – high-performance rubber parts in electronics and appliances requiring heat and chemical resistance.
Therefore, VIT700 is not confined to sealing—it is a versatile material across multiple sectors.
