Vinyl Nitrile (PVC/NBR) Foams
Vinyl Nitrile foam is a blend of PVC and Nitrile material which provides a soft, flexible closed cell foam that is flame retardant, weather resistant and highly oil resistant. Listed gasketing and sealing UL50E. It provides excellent impact resistance and sound deadening properties. This foam is provides an excellent seal against moisture and gas.
Applications include: Gasketing, sealing, sound dampening, protective padding equipment.
- Excellent fuel reistance
- Excellent fire performance
- Very good shock absortion performance
- Very good vibration and noise dampening
- Very good moisture resistance
