RH Nuttall Limited produce nitrile washers, nitrile gaskets, nitrile seals, nitrile strips and nitrile sheet for a variety of different industrial sectors.

Nitrile rubber (NBR) is generally used for fluid sealing of oils and fuels within the automotive industry. This material is a copolymer, which means it is made from more than one type of fibre blended together. In this case, Nitrile Rubber (or NBR) is a mixture of acrylonitrile and butadiene. It is particularly useful as a synthetic rubber sealing material which is highly resistant to fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, and a range of other chemicals.

Uses of Nitrile Rubber

This mixture between acrylonitrile and butadiene has multiple uses in the commercial and industrial worlds. Here are just some of the uses of this durable material:

• Car parts such as transmission belts use nitrile rubber
• Gaskets and washers grace joins throughout the industrial processes in the UK
• RH Nuttall Ltd nitrile rubber seals are fuel and hydraulic resistant
• Nitrile Rubber strips and sheets go into cars and machinery all over the country.
• Oil seals are a particularly good use of nitrile rubber since they are resistant to oil-based degredation

Top Rated Technology for Cutting and Shaping

Here at RH Nuttall Ltd we have been in the manufacturing business for generations.. Dating back as far as 1860, our business was previously known by W Parkins. Passed down through the family, RH Nuttall Ltd constantly reviews and upgrades both our manufacturing techniques and the equipment we use to produce it.

To this end, we recently refurbished our production facility with top rated, digitised machinery. This partially automated system allows us to laser cut nitrile rubber to the finest possible precision. We can create any shape you need from nitrile rubber, and all we need are your specs.

Custom Sizes and Shapes of Nitrile Rubber

Our consistently upgraded technology lets the RH Nuttall Ltd team custom build small parts for clients in Great Britain. Our UK-based manufacturing facility can cut holes, trim larger pieces, chop, shape, and create any size, shape, grade, and thickness of nitrile synthetic rubber that you require. All we need are the details and we can begin right away.

Typical Thicknesses of Nitrile Rubber

Our nitrile washers and nitrile gaskets can be produced to any size, shape, and thickness. Typically, customers order nitrile rubber from RH Nuttall Ltd in Birmingham which begin at a thickness of 0.5 mm. Thicknesses can go all the way up to 40 mm depending on your required measurements.

The General Qualities of Nitrile Rubber – RH Nuttall Ltd

There are plenty of reasons why RH Nuttall Ltd clients chose to work with nitrile rubber as a preferred material. Here are the general characteristics which make nitrile rubber such a useful material in the production industry:
• Excellent resistance to petroleum oils, aromatic hydrocarbons, mineral oils, and many acids.
• Good abrasion resistance.
• Good compression set.
• Impermeable to many gases.
• Available in BS2751 specification in various hardnesses.
• Moderate mechanical properties.
These qualities not only make nitrile rubber a viable alternative to natural rubber, but they also make for a flexible, versatile production material.

Working/Operating Temperature Range of Nitrile Rubber

Nitrile rubber fibres are known for operating at peak performance within set temperatures. This material is not known for huge disparities in operational temperatures, but rather for the hard-wearing capacity of the material overall.
The minimum and maximum temperature range for the safe use of nitrile rubber are as follows:
• Minimum (˚C) -20
• Maximum (˚C) +80
