Nitrile

Nitrile is generally used in oil based environments having excellent resistance to oils, grease and most diesel fuels but NOT petrol.

Nitrile is not ozone tolerant but does have excellent water resistance with drinking water grades available.

Grades with high nitrile content have better oil resistance whereas low nitrile content gives better low temperature flexibility and resilience. Nitrile has moderate physical properties but good abrasion resistance. Gas permeability is low.
