Oilresistant industrial tires are designed to withstand exposure to petroleum-based oils, lubricants, fuels, and greases—common in environments like automotive repair shops, oil refineries, factories, and mining sites where oil spills or leaks are prevalent. The tires are made with a nitrile rubber (NBR) or hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) compound that exhibits exceptional resistance to oil absorption, preventing the rubber from softening, swelling, or losing structural integrity. This resistance ensures the tire maintains its traction, load-bearing capacity, and durability even after prolonged contact with oil. The tread pattern is also optimized to repel oil from the contact patch, reducing the risk of slippage on oil-slick surfaces, while the sidewalls are reinforced to resist abrasion from oil-contaminated debris. These tires are suitable for equipment like forklifts, utility trucks, and floor cleaners used in oil-rich environments, where standard tires would degrade quickly. To learn more about the oil resistance capabilities, load ratings, and pricing for oilresistant industrial tires, contact a specialist to discuss your oil-exposure equipment needs.
