NBR Rubber Sheet – Superior Oil-Resistant Rubber for Industrial Use in Sabah, Sarawak & Brunei

RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES

When it comes to industrial environments involving petroleum, fuels, chemicals, and grease, no rubber performs better than Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR). At RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES, we provide premium-grade NBR rubber sheets across Borneo—Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei—for industries that demand high durability, chemical resistance, and oil tolerance.

 

🔍 Why Choose NBR Over Other Rubber Materials?

Property/Use Case	NBR	Natural Rubber (NR)	EPDM	Neoprene (CR)	Silicone Rubber (VMQ)
Oil Resistance	★★★★★ Excellent	★ Poor	★ Poor	★★★ Moderate	★ Poor
Fuel Resistance	★★★★★ Excellent	★ Poor	★ Poor	★★ Low	★ Poor
Heat Resistance	★★★★ Up to 125°C	★★ 70°C max	★★★★ 150°C max	★★★ Up to 110°C	★★★★★ Up to 200–250°C
Abrasion Resistance	★★★★ Good	★★★★★ Excellent	★★★ Good	★★★ Good	★★ Moderate
Chemical Resistance	★★★★ Good (non-polar)	★ Poor	★★★ Excellent (polar chemicals)	★★★ Moderate	★★★ Good
Weather/Ozone Resistance	★★★ Moderate	★ Poor	★★★★★ Excellent	★★★ Moderate	★★★★★ Excellent
Flexibility in Cold	★★★ Good (-30°C)	★★★ Good (-40°C)	★★★★ Excellent (-50°C)	★★★ Moderate	★★★★★ Excellent (-60°C)
Cost Efficiency	★★★★ Balanced	★★★★★ Low Cost	★★★ Slightly Higher	★★★★ Balanced	★ Low Cost–High Price

 

✅ Conclusion – When is NBR the Best Choice?

Choose NBR rubber sheet when your application involves:

• Exposure to petroleum oils, diesel, lubricants, or grease
• Sealing systems in fuel pipelines, engines, or oil tanks
• Manufacturing of fuel hoses, oil-resistant gaskets, diaphragms
• Vibration-resistant mounts in power and mechanical systems

 

🏭 Applications in Sabah, Sarawak & Brunei – NBR vs. Others

🔹 Oil & Gas Industry

• ✅ NBR is superior to EPDM or natural rubber for contact with crude oil, diesel, and hydrocarbons
• Used for: Pipeline seals, tank gaskets, oil containment mats

Applicable in:
📍 Miri, Bintulu, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Belait, Seria, Sandakan

 

🔹 Automotive & Heavy Vehicles

• ✅ NBR is the preferred material for engine bay hoses, fuel lines, and oil seals
• EPDM is used for coolant systems, but fails in oily environments

Used in:
📍 Kuching, Sibu, Tawau, Papua, Seria, Tutong

 

🔹 Power Plant & Engineering

• ✅ NBR performs well for hydraulic sealing, door gaskets, and oil dampers
• Neoprene may survive longer outdoors, but lacks fuel resistance

Deployed in:
📍 Sipitang, Kapuas, Bintulu, Sri Aman, Bandar Seri Begawan

 

🔹 Chemical Industry

• EPDM outperforms NBR for polar chemicals, acids, and alkalis
• ✅ But for oils, solvents, or petroleum-based chemicals, NBR is the better material

Used in:
📍 Mukah, Sarikei, Beaufort, Limbang, Simunjan

 

🔹 Marine Industry

• ✅ NBR resists oil and fuel spills common in engine rooms
• EPDM and Silicone offer better ozone resistance but are not suitable for oily surfaces

Served in:
📍 Semporna, Kudat, Lahad Datu, Jerudong, Bandar Seri Begawan

 

🧪 Material Composition – NBR Details

• Polymer base: Copolymer of Butadiene and Acrylonitrile
• Acrylonitrile content: ~33% (optimal oil resistance without loss of flexibility)
• Color: Standard black; custom colors available on request
• Reinforcement: Available with or without fabric layer (cotton/nylon insert)
