Nitrile is highly resistant to petroleum oils, mineral oils, vegetable oils and many acids and is resistant to a broader range of aromatic hydrocarbons than neoprene. It has good elongation properties, as well as adequate resilience, tensile and compression set. These advantages make nitrile gaskets ideal for applications where resistance to oils, solvents and fuels is of critical importance, including diaphragms, hose gaskets, tubing, cups and seals for fuel and hydraulic components.
