Usa Industrials BULK-RS-H60-288 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-H60-288 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip rated at 60 Shore A durometer. Buna-N, also known as nitrile rubber, offers strong resistance to petroleum-based oils, fuels, and many hydraulic fluids, making it a go-to sealing and gasketing material across industrial and mechanical trades. This strip measures 6 inches wide by 60 inches long and carries a tensile strength range of 800 to 1000 psi. It is cut-to-fit ready, giving technicians and fabricators a versatile blank for custom gaskets, vibration pads, wear strips, and sealing applications. The 60 Shore A hardness puts this strip in the medium-firm range, balancing compressibility with structural durability.

This rubber strip is suited for use in HVAC, plumbing, industrial maintenance, and general mechanical applications where an oil-resistant elastomer is required. It performs across a service temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F, covering most indoor mechanical and light industrial environments. Fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade pros use strips like this to cut custom gaskets for flanges, equipment mounts, pipe supports, and panel seals. The stock length allows multiple pieces to be cut from a single strip, reducing waste on the job.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) construction provides resistance to petroleum oils, hydraulic fluids, and fuels
• 60 Shore A durometer delivers medium-firm hardness suitable for compression gaskets and wear pads
• Tensile strength of 800 to 1000 psi supports demanding sealing applications
• Service temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F for broad environmental compatibility
• Stock length of 60 inches allows field cutting to custom dimensions without special tooling
• Black finish is standard for Buna-N compounds and indicates an uncoated, general-purpose compound

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber strip for use in applications requiring oil-resistant elastomer gasketing, sealing, or padding across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Cut to the required profile using a sharp utility knife, straight edge, or die-cutting tool on a stable flat surface. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of oil, debris, or old gasket material before installation. For compressed gasket applications, verify that the fastener torque pattern and clamping surface are appropriate for a 60 Shore A durometer material to avoid over-compression and extrusion. Consult applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer specifications before use in pressure-bearing assemblies.
