Nitrile (NBR)

Nitrile or NBR stands for Nitrile-Butadiene-Rubber. The material is exceptionally good against hydraulic oils, motor oil and other oils typical for industry.
Nitrile is produced as a sheet material. The flat nitrile sheet is produced to die-cut and waterjet cut seals, gaskets, membranes and seal strips.
The raw material is also available as a ribbed rubber mat, for example in workbenches and shelves. Considering the resistance for oil and petroleum this material is suitable for workbenches at car-mechanics.
In difference to other, more cost-effective qualities of ribbed rubber materials, the NBR is more odorless and is better suited for shelves in stores compared to other rubbers.
The material may also be produced with a reinforcement inside the rubber sheet to increase durability and stability in the material. The Nitrile is then produced with a textile-inlay inside the sheet that limits the elasticity in the material.
Commonly seen products in molded and extruded NBR is O-rings, X-rings, hoses and extruded seal strips.
Other qualities of Nitrile, such as HNBR or Hydrated-NBR is that is retains better thermal properties with a peak temperature of up to 165°. HNBR can withstand more chemical substances than the traditional Nitrile and is therefore well suited in tougher environments.
HNBR can in some cases replace rubber-products in FKM/FPM for a more cost-effective gasket or seal.
Like other rubber qualities, the Nitrile may be obtained in many different shore-values which indicates the hardness of the material. The most common hardness we see is 65Sh.

Cellular Polyethylene (GC)

The material can be had in different densities that affects insulating properties and the softness.
GC means that the surface is coarse and the surface is usually a matter of preference.

Cellular Polyethylene (FC)

The material can be had in different densities that affects insulating properties and the softness.

Cellular Polyethylene UL94

The Firegraded cellular polyethylene is a popular choice in telecom and electronic industry.
A material we store in block form which means it can be easily split into any desired thickness.

Soft-Polyethylene

A very soft slow recovery PE-foam. That’s very suitable for sealing uneven surfaces.
Popular insulation in the ventilation industry when it does not need to rebound continuously.

PVC Foam

A soft, elastic and slow recovery foam with open cells. Well suited for sealstrips and gaskets.

Poron® - Microcellular PUR-Foam

CABSEAL has been selected by the quality focused Rogers Corporation to be a preferred converter of their high end PUR-Foam Poron.

PE-Layer

A cost-efficient insulation or packaging-material with good cushioning properties.

EPDM

Excellent aging and ozone properties.
Good acid and alkali resistance, as well as good heat and cold resistance.

Chloroprene (CR)

Good weather, ozone and oil resistance.
The allround option for gaskets, well suited for general industry environments.

Nitrile (NBR)

Excellent oil and good petrol resistance.
We store this material both flat and patterned (ribbed).

Cork, rubber bound

Rubber bound, good oil and petrol resistant cork rubber with a Nitrile (NBR) base.

SBR

Cost efficient solution, wear resistant.
Our NR/SBR material can be acquired in patterned and flat sheeting.
Typically used as floor-mats, or on shelves for protection.

Natural Rubber (PARA)

Soft, very elastic and extremely durable.
You often find this material in the toughest of environments. Such as the drilling and mining
industries.

Abrasive Rubber

Very durable material, good physical and mechanical properties.
Like natural rubber, this tough material you find in the most physically demanding industries.

Abrasive Rubber

Very durable material, good physical and mechanical properties.
Like natural rubber, this tough material you find in the most physically demanding industries.

Silicone

High temperature resistance, for both heat and cold.
Excellent aging properties.
FDA approved.

Fluorine Rubber (Viton®)

High quality and very resistant to acids, oils and solvent products.
Have a high heat tolerance.

Polyethylene, PE

Cost efficient plastic and low friction makes it well suited for example slide rails and spacers.
Could be had in black or natural colour.

Polyamide, PA (Nylon)

The material is very durable which makes it suitable for washers and spacers.
Washers made from Polyamide is also lighter and more cost efficient than most metal substitutes.

Polyesterfilm, PET (Mylar®)

Polyesterfilm has excellent electrical properties typically used as isolations in electrical enclosures.

PTFE (Teflon®)

PTFE has one of the lowest friction on solid materials. It also possess good chemical and acid resistance.

Polyurethane, PUR

A plastic material that reminds of rubber in flexibility and elasticity. Well suited in tough environments such as heavy duty machinery and drilling.

Polyester Foam

Excellent in absorbing high-frequent sounds such as screeches and machine noise.

Polyester/ether Filter (PPI)

Often used for filtrating dust, grease and coarser particles. The polyester/ether filter can be acquired in various PPI (pores/inch).

Bonded Foam

Recycled polyester/ether foam that’s been milled together with a bonding material. A cost effective solution.

O-rings

We distribute o-rings in American and European standard to be as wide as possible in our rubber assortment.

Molded Parts

We have a lot of moulded parts customized made for customers in all varieties of rubber and shapes.

Extruded Profiles

Extruded profiles is a general term that includes door seal strips, window seals, o-rings, cords and general profiled rubber.

Bitumen

Bitumen is an excellent structure-borne sound absorbent because it has a very high volume weight.

Bitumen Paper

Bitumen Paper is a firm bitumen material. Structure-borne sound absorbing is its prime feature.

Textiles / Felt

Textile or felt is generally a good option for high frequent sound absorbing purposes.
Excellent as squeak and rattle-sound dampening.

Synthetic Fiber

Synthetic fiber-material for high pressure and temperature demanding gaskets.
