applications of nbr pvc rubber foam

NBR/PVC rubber foam (a blend of nitrile butadiene rubber and polyvinyl chloride) is a versatile, closed-cell elastomeric material. It combines the oil resistance and flexibility of NBR with the flame retardancy and durability of PVC. Here are the main applications of NBR/PVC rubber foam:

1. Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

HVAC systems: Used to insulate pipes, ducts, and fittings in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

Refrigeration and chillers: Prevents condensation and improves energy efficiency.

Building insulation: Acoustic and thermal insulation in walls and floors.

2. Automotive Industry

Seals and gaskets: For doors, windows, and HVAC systems.

Sound dampening: Reduces noise and vibrations in vehicle interiors.

Under-hood insulation: Heat and oil resistance make it suitable for engine compartments.

3. Industrial EquipmenT

Pipe insulation: For chemical, oil, and water pipelines.

Anti-vibration pads: Reduces mechanical vibrations in machines and compressors.

Protective padding: In tools and machinery to prevent wear and dampen impacts.

4. Fire Retardant Applications

Thanks to PVC content, it is self-extinguishing and used in environments requiring fire safety compliance (e.g., marine, railways, and construction).

5. Cold Storage & Food Industry

Used in walk-in freezers and cold rooms due to its low thermal conductivity and moisture resistance.
