Usa Industrials BULK-RS-BHS50-235 Buna-n Sheet Roll 36in

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-BHS50-235 is a Buna-N (nitrile) rubber sheet roll used for gasket fabrication, sealing, and vibration isolation across industrial, plumbing, and mechanical applications. At 0.062 inches thick and 36 inches wide, this stock-length roll provides a flexible, oil-resistant base material that can be cut to custom sizes on the job. With a Shore A durometer of 45 to 55 and a tensile strength of 1,500 psi, the material handles moderate mechanical stress while maintaining a reliable seal. The temperature range of -40 degrees F to 212 degrees F makes it suitable for hot water lines, fuel-adjacent environments, and general fluid sealing tasks.

This Buna-N sheet roll is a practical shop and field stock material for plumbers, pipefitters, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians. It is commonly used to cut custom gaskets for flanged connections, punch washers, fabricate isolation pads, and create seals for equipment panels or enclosures. The 36-inch width provides ample material for most standard flange sizes and custom configurations without requiring additional joining.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound provides strong resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and many hydraulic fluids
• Shore A durometer of 45 to 55 delivers medium-soft flexibility suitable for compressive sealing applications
• Tensile strength of 1,500 psi supports use in moderate-pressure gasketing applications
• Operating range of -40 degrees F to 212 degrees F covers most hot water and low-pressure steam adjacency scenarios
• 36-inch width and stock-length format allows on-site custom cutting with standard shop tools
• 0.062-inch thickness suits thin-profile flange gaskets and overlay sealing applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose nitrile rubber sheeting material for custom gasket and seal fabrication in industrial, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance applications where oil and water resistance are required.

Installation Notes

Cutting should be performed with a sharp utility knife, die cutter, or gasket punch set on a stable flat surface. Ensure mating flange faces are clean, dry, and free of old gasket material before installing fabricated gaskets. Follow applicable ASME or ANSI flange standards for bolt torque sequences when making flanged connections. Buna-N is not compatible with strong oxidizing acids, ketones, or aromatic hydrocarbons - verify chemical compatibility before use in aggressive fluid systems.
