Overview
Abil N in use
Abil N refers to cellulose-based soft fibre gasket sheets with an NBR binder. The material is resistant to oil and fuel and is suitable for compressible flat seals in the engine compartment, on gearboxes, pumps and compressors.
Characteristic values
| Property | Guide value range |
|---|---|
| Compressibility | approx. 7 to 17 % |
| Recovery | approx. 40 to 60 % |
| Tensile strength | approx. 8 to 15 MPa |
| Density | approx. 1.2 to 1.6 g/cm³ |
Media resistance
- Engine and gear oils, lubricating greases: very good
- Petrol, diesel, E10 fuels: good
- Coolants: good
Typical applications
Oil sumps, valve covers, gearbox covers, flanges, pump and compressor seals, as well as hydraulic and pneumatic units.
