Nitrile adhesive: technical adhesive for rubber and metal

What is nitrile glue?

La nitrile glue is an industrial adhesive formulated with nitrile rubber (NBR) and solvents, designed to provide excellent flexible, resistant and durable adhesion. It is particularly recommended for assemblies involving flexible materials such as rubber, leather, technical fabrics or certain plastics. 

Its high tack and resistance to mechanical stress make it the preferred choice for the automotive, textile, maintenance and technical seal industries.

La nitrile glue offers fast, reliable bonding without complex polymerisation. Its key features are 

  • Immediate adhesion by double gluing and pressure 
  • High resistance to oils, fuels and solvents 
  • Good elasticity and durability 
  • Normal operating temperature -20 °C to +90 °C 
  • Compatible with metal, rubber, leather, coated fabrics, etc. 

The formulation can be adapted to specific needs: quick drying, low odour, spray or brush application. 

→ Save time on your production lines 

One of the most common uses of nitrile glue is for rubber bondingin demanding environments: 

  • Excellent adhesion to NBR joints, strips, sheaths or foams 
  • Monitoring deformation without cracking 
  • No over-hardening: the adhesive remains flexible 
  • Resistant to vibrations, hydrocarbons and moderate heat 
  • Compatible with metal or plastic substrates 

A resistant nitrile adhesive is ideal for applications requiring both flexibility and mechanical strength.

FAQ - Nitrile glue

Mainly on rubber, leather, technical fabrics, metal, flexible or rigid plastics, depending on the formulation.

Nitrile adhesive offers better resistance to fuels, oils and hydrocarbons. It remains more flexible over the long term.

Yes, some formulations can withstand peaks of 120°C. For more, we recommend using a heat-resistant epoxy adhesive.

Yes, particularly on certain soft plastics (PVC, PU, ABS). A test is recommended to confirm adhesion.

Apply to both clean, grease-free surfaces, allow the solvents to evaporate and then press firmly to ensure adhesion.

Yes, it is resistant to humidity, water splashes and moderate outdoor exposure.
