O-rings are one of the most widely used sealing elements across various industries. Made from different materials, they offer a vast range of applications. NBR O-rings (nitrile butadiene rubber) are particularly valued for their unique properties, making them indispensable in many sectors, including the automotive industry, machinery, and even jewelry.

Our NBR O-rings are manufactured in the largest and most technologically advanced factory in China, ensuring the highest quality standards, competitive pricing, and compliance with international norms.

What is an NBR O-Ring?

An NBR O-ring, also known as a nitrile rubber O-ring, is a sealing ring made of an elastomer resistant to oils, fuels, and a wide range of chemicals. NBR boasts excellent mechanical properties, such as wear resistance, making it ideal for demanding working conditions.

Applications of NBR O-Rings in Various Industries

1. Automotive Industry
   NBR O-rings are extensively used in fuel systems, hydraulic, and pneumatic applications in cars. Their resistance to mineral oils, greases, and fuels makes them ideal for sealing fuel lines, cylinders, and engines.

2. Industrial Machinery
   In industrial applications, NBR O-rings are used in pumps, compressors, valves, and pressure systems. They can withstand high pressures and temperatures, providing reliable sealing in hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

3. Food Industry
   While NBR isn't ideal for direct food contact, it is used in indirect applications such as sealing in packaging machines or fluid transport systems.

4. Chemical Industry
   NBR O-rings are employed in chemical plants due to their resistance to various acids, hydrocarbons, and other aggressive chemicals. They provide durable and resistant seals in environments where long-lasting protection is required.

5. Jewelry Industry
   Although less common, NBR O-rings are used in jewelry, particularly in watches, as spacers and seals. Nitrile rubber’s resistance to wear and oils makes it ideal for small, precision components that must operate in challenging conditions.

Advantages of NBR O-Rings

• Oil and Grease Resistance
  NBR O-rings are highly resistant to mineral oils and greases, making them perfect for hydraulic and automotive applications.

• Excellent Mechanical Fit
  With high elasticity and wear resistance, NBR O-rings adapt well to sealing surfaces, providing long-lasting and reliable seals.

• Temperature Resistance
  NBR O-rings can withstand temperatures from -40°C to +120°C, and some specialized compounds can handle up to 150°C, making them versatile across industries.

• Affordable
  Compared to materials like FKM (fluorocarbon rubber), NBR O-rings are relatively inexpensive, making them widely available in large quantities at competitive prices.

Limitations of NBR O-Rings

• Limited Chemical Resistance
  While NBR has good resistance to oils, fuels, and some chemicals, it is not suitable for environments with strong acids or bases. Fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) is a better choice for such conditions.

• Low UV and Ozone Resistance
  NBR O-rings are not ideal for outdoor use, where they may be exposed to prolonged UV radiation and ozone. EPDM or silicone O-rings are more suitable for such applications.
