Nitrile-butadiene Rubber Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- NBR
- Nitrile Rubber
- Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber
- 2-Propenenitrile, Polymer with 1,3-Butadiene
Nitrile butadiene rubber supplier for rubber compounders, glove manufacturers and industrial processors in Malaysia. Also known as NBR, nitrile rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, this oil-resistant elastomer is the copolymer of acrylonitrile and 1,3-butadiene identified by CAS 9003-18-3.
Solid NBR grades are supplied as rubber bales or crumb and are selected by acrylonitrile content, Mooney viscosity and processing requirements. Higher, medium and lower nitrile grades allow compounders to balance oil resistance, flexibility and low-temperature behaviour. NBR latex is a separate aqueous form for dipping, coating and adhesive processes.
Manufacturers use NBR in seals, O-rings, gaskets, fuel and oil hoses, belts, rollers and moulded components. Latex processors use it in dipped gloves, coated fabrics and flexible binder systems. The correct grade depends on the service fluid, temperature range, curing system and production method.
Send the required solid or latex form, grade, technical specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium-nitrile NBR | solid rubber bale or crumb | acrylonitrile level and Mooney viscosity confirmed against the required grade | General oil-resistant seals, gaskets, hoses, rollers and moulded rubber goods requiring a practical balance of processing and service properties. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-nitrile NBR | solid rubber bale or crumb | acrylonitrile level and Mooney viscosity confirmed against the required grade | Fuel- and oil-contact rubber compounds where the formulation prioritises resistance to hydrocarbon fluids over low-temperature flexibility. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Low-nitrile NBR | solid rubber bale or crumb | acrylonitrile level and Mooney viscosity confirmed against the required grade | Flexible rubber compounds where lower-temperature performance is more important than the highest available oil resistance. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| NBR latex | milky aqueous polymer dispersion | solids, viscosity and latex stability confirmed against the required specification | Dipped gloves, coated fabrics, adhesives and other latex processes that require nitrile rubber as an aqueous dispersion rather than a solid bale. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber applications
Common questions about Nitrile-butadiene rubber
Are NBR, nitrile rubber and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber the same product?
Yes. These names refer to the copolymer of acrylonitrile and 1,3-butadiene. NBR is the standard abbreviation. The grade still needs to be identified by acrylonitrile level, viscosity, physical form and the intended application.
What is the difference between solid NBR and NBR latex?
Solid NBR is supplied as a bale or crumb for compounding and moulding. NBR latex is an aqueous polymer dispersion used in dipping, coating and adhesive processes. They share the polymer family but require different processing equipment and specification controls.
How does acrylonitrile content affect NBR grade selection?
Higher acrylonitrile content generally improves resistance to oils and fuels, while lower levels favour low-temperature flexibility. A medium-nitrile grade provides a balance for many industrial rubber goods. State the service fluid and temperature range so the compounder can evaluate the appropriate grade.
What products are commonly made from nitrile-butadiene rubber?
Common industrial uses include seals, O-rings, gaskets, oil-resistant hoses, belts, rollers and moulded components. Latex grades are used in dipped gloves, coated fabrics, adhesives and related aqueous processes.
Which specifications matter when buying solid NBR?
Identify the acrylonitrile range, Mooney viscosity, volatile-matter limit and bale or crumb form required by the compound recipe. Include any service-fluid and processing constraints that influence polymer selection.
Which specifications matter when buying NBR latex?
Latex buyers commonly define solids content, viscosity, pH and mechanical stability together with the dipping, coating or adhesive application. Send the full process specification so the quotation addresses the correct latex grade.
What packing and documentation can be requested?
State the preferred pack format and required product or batch documents in the enquiry. Available packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted grade rather than presented as fixed catalogue terms.
What details are needed for an NBR price quotation?
Provide the solid or latex form, grade and technical specification, quantity and delivery location. Add the intended product and key service conditions so the quotation can be matched to the procurement requirement.
