Roman Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hey guys, Looking for a sheet of flexible about 30cm x 30cm that can stretch and flex, and wont disintegrate upon contact with oil or fuel. Not direct or continuous contact, just dont want it to dissolve in an engine bay if it gets splashed with something. Any suggestions?Wetsuit material springs to mind as the stretchiness etc that I'd be wanting, but I dont think neoprene is particularly resilient to petroleum based products.

flyingbrick Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Just black rubber non reinforced gasket material? I'd go to a gasket supplier and they might just give you a piece of exactly what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepers Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 nitrile will do oil but it won't handle fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvmyvl Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 If you want polyurethane sheet, let me know. I have racks of it at work. Heaps of off cuts. What thickness and what colour? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
