Metal Foam NBR consists of carbon with a 65 µm thick nitrile rubber (NBR) coating on both sides and a 0.20 mm thick steel material in between. It is also a high quality elastomer coated steel material. The surface of this material is different from normal Metal NBR and its surface looks like a foam-like pattern.

Gaskets made of ‘’Metal Foam NBR’’ materials are always beaded. This gives these special rubber/metal gaskets a unique combination of sealing properties:

- very good conformability to irregular sealing faces

- reliable sealing off of liquids and gases

- high elasticity of installed gasket (recovery)

- mechanical strength

Moreover, gaskets made of ‘’Metal Foam NBR’’ materials also have very good thermal resistance and are resistant to oils, fuels, anti-freeze, refrigerants (Freons), biodegradable lubricants and non-polar solvents.

-for cylinder head gaskets or other sealed joints subjected to higher mechanical and/or thermal stresses, e.g. intake manifolds, oil pans, valve covers, transmission flanges, axles, engine anicillaries and valves, as well as for housings, compressors, and pumps.

-Used especially for narrow sealing faces with low surface pressure
