Blue food-grade nitrile rubber sheeting (NBR) is a high-performance synthetic elastomer developed for hygienic food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. Manufactured from a premium blend of nitrile compounds, this material delivers outstanding resistance to animal fats, vegetable oils, fish oils, and greases, making it a reliable choice for environments where frequent exposure to these substances occurs.
The high-visibility blue colour meets industry standards for contamination prevention and is widely adopted across food processing lines. Offering enhanced tensile strength, elongation, and temperature resistance compared to standard nitrile grades, it combines durability with compliance to the latest FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and EC 1935/2004 food safety regulations.
