White food-grade nitrile rubber sheeting (NBR) is a premium synthetic elastomer made from a high-quality blend of butadiene and acrylonitrile. It offers excellent resistance to vegetable oils, animal fats, fish oils, and greases, making it ideal for use in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries, where hygiene, durability, and compliance are essential.
Compared to standard nitrile rubber, this white food quality grade delivers superior tensile strength, elongation at break, and temperature resistance, thanks to its enhanced compound formulation. It is a popular choice for applications requiring reliable performance in direct food contact environments.
Key Features:
-
Food Contact Safe: Fully approved for use with consumables in food and pharmaceutical settings.
-
Oil & Fat Resistant: Withstands exposure to animal fats, vegetable oils, and fish oils.
-
High Performance: Improved strength, flexibility, and heat resistance compared to standard grades.
-
Non-Marking White Finish: Ideal for hygienic applications where visual cleanliness is key.
-
Versatile Use: Suitable for sealing, lining, and gasketing in food production facilities.
