Metal detectable nitrile rubber sheeting (NBR) is specifically formulated for use in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments where contamination control is critical. Embedded with metal-detectable additives, most industrial metal detection systems can quickly identify this material, enabling rapid removal of any compromised product and helping maintain HACCP compliance.
While its maximum temperature range is lower than that of detectable silicone, metal detectable nitrile offers superior resistance to animal fats, vegetable oils, fatty acids, steam, and abrasion, making it a more robust option for environments requiring durability and oil compatibility.
Ideal for converting into gaskets, seals, strips, and joints for use in high-risk production zones.
