NITROPHYL® Floats
For over 40 years, Rogers Corporation has been the leader in the design and production of liquid level floats where resistance to gasoline, oil, and other hydrocarbons is essential. The key is in our NITROPHYL® NBR (Buna-N) Technology.
Unlike hollow-core plastic or metal floats which can fail suddenly, NITROPHYL® NBR floats are made of closed cell foam, giving the float a solid core that improves reliability and lifetime of the float.
NITROPHYL® Floats are used for liquid level sensing in:
- automotive fuel tanks, reservoirs, carburetors
- marine and small engine industries
- underground storage tanks
- metering devices
- automatic relief valves
- other applications where accurate, reliable measurement of liquid is important such as transformers, refrigeration compressors, central air conditioning, washing machines, sanitary ware and fishing
Rogers’ global technical staff is available to provide the right solution for your application. In addition to our wide range of standard floats, Rogers can:
- design and manufacture custom floats, moldable into nearly any shape
- mold plastic, metal, or magnetic inserts into your float
- select the right NITROPHYL® recipe to meet your specific needs such as float density and resistance to specific fluids. Our NITROPHYL®-M floats, for example, were developed specifically to improve resistance to methanol and other alcohols and are widely used in fuel tank applications
- provide select performance data for NITROPHYL® exposed to various liquids under different conditions
Rogers Corporation is committed to providing you with the highest quality product in the most environmentally friendly manner:
- No ozone-depleting chemicals are used in the production of NITROPHYL® floats
- NITROPHYL® NBR floats are recyclable with other rubber-type components
- Our packaging is recyclable
- Our manufacturing facilities are ISO-9001 and TS-16949 registered
- NITROPHYL® NBR floats are REACh and RoHS compliant
