Abil® N – Gasket paper for oil, fuel and industrial applications
Reliable sealing material for mechanical engineering, hydraulics and engine technology
With Abil® N, the Dr. Dietrich Mueller GmbH We offer a proven gasket paper based on cellulose fibers with an NBR binder for numerous industrial applications. The material impresses with its good dimensional stability, high conformability, and reliable resistance to oils, fuels, and coolants.
Abil® N has been used successfully in mechanical and plant engineering for many years and is particularly suitable for static seals with medium thermal and mechanical requirements.
What is Abil® N?
Abil® N is a classic flat gasket material based on cellulose fibers with a nitrile rubber (NBR) bond. The combination of fiber structure and elastomer content creates a flexible, compressible material with good resilience and reliable sealing properties.
The material is particularly suitable for applications where:
- Oil resistance
- Fuel resistance
- good compressibility
- economic processing
stand in the foreground.
Properties of Abil® N
Abil® N is characterized by a balanced combination of mechanical and chemical properties:
- Good oil and fuel resistance
- Good pressure resistance
- High adaptability to flange surfaces
- Good compressibility and resilience
- Economical sealing material
- Good processability for stamped parts and cut pieces
Due to its structure, the material is ideally suited for classic flat gaskets in industrial environments.
