Fuel-Resistant Rubber Sheeting

Trusted by Industry Leaders for Fuel-Resistant Rubber Supply and Conversion

At Alanto, we specialise in the supply and conversion of fuel-resistant rubber sheeting for use in sectors where performance under pressure is non-negotiable – including automotive, aerospace, defence, marine, and energy. From custom gaskets to sheet stock for OEMs, we help manufacturers meet technical demands with confidence.

Fuel-resistant rubber materials such as Nitrile (NBR), Viton®, and Neoprene are specifically engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to petrol, diesel, oil, and hydrocarbons, while maintaining dimensional stability and sealing integrity.

If you’re searching for a rubber gasket manufacturer or a trusted rubber materials supplier who understands your industry’s safety, compliance, and performance needs, you’re in the right place.

Why Choose Fuel-Resistant Rubber?

Rubber exposed to fuel or oil must do more than survive – it must retain performance under pressure. The materials we convert are formulated to:

Resist degradation in contact with petrol, diesel, hydraulic oil, and lubricants.
Maintain flexibility and compression set resistance.
Withstand temperature extremes (from -40°C to +200°C depending on compound).
Seal reliably under mechanical and chemical stress.

Typical Applications

Sector	Applications
Automotive	Fuel pump seals, under-hood gaskets, hose linings
Aerospace	Self-sealing fuel tanks, fuel system gaskets, flame barriers
Oil & Gas	Containment seals, oil line gaskets, anti-splash barriers
Marine	Diesel seals, hatch gaskets, hydrocarbon tank linings
Industrial	Generator enclosures, chemical tank gaskets, fuel sensor pads

We can supply sheeting for in-house use or provide custom die-cut gaskets, strips, coils, or pads, with flame-retardant or adhesive options available.

Fuel-Resistant Materials We Offer

1. Nitrile (NBR)

Excellent resistance to fuels and oils, with good mechanical strength.

2. Viton^® / FKM

Outstanding chemical and temperature resistance, suitable for aggressive fuels.

3. Neoprene

Balanced oil, UV, and weather resistance.

4. EPDM (select grades)

Suitable for some fuel vapour applications.

5. Polyethylene (limited use)

For fuel-resistant foam applications, not direct fuel contact.

We’ll guide you through chemical compatibility, performance spec sheets, and compliance requirements.

How to Specify the Right Fuel-Resistant Rubber Sheet

Define the contact fluids (e.g. diesel, kerosene, ethanol blends).
Clarify operating temperature range.
Confirm mechanical requirements (compression, abrasion, flexibility).
State certification needs (UL94, FMVSS 302, EN45545 etc.).
Choose format: full rolls, cut sheets, or finished gaskets.

We convert and supply fuel-resistant rubber to your exact dimensions – no wastage, no delays.

FAQs

1. What is the best fuel-resistant rubber for gaskets?

Nitrile (NBR) is the most common rubber for fuel gasket applications, offering excellent fuel and oil resistance. For aggressive fuels or extreme temperatures, Viton^® is often preferred. We manufacture custom fuel-resistant rubber gaskets in both materials.

2. Do you supply flame-retardant rubber sheeting for fuel applications?

Yes. We stock materials with UL94 V-0, FMVSS 302, and other fire safety certifications. These are essential for automotive, aerospace, and rail applications.

3. Can Alanto convert fuel-resistant rubber into finished parts?

Absolutely. As a full-service rubber gasket manufacturer, we can die-cut, CNC cut, laminate, or kiss-cut rubber parts based on your drawings or CAD files.

4. What’s the typical lead time for rubber sheeting or gaskets?

We aim for 48-72 hours on stock materials and 5-7 working days for converted products. Urgent jobs?
We offer priority production and shipping for OEMs on deadline.

5. Do you supply rubber materials in sheet, roll, or strip formats?

Yes. We can provide sheet stock, continuous rolls, or precision-cut strips and adhesive-backed coils. Let us know what works best for your process.
