Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS50-291 Buna-n Rubber Roll

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS50-291 is a stock-length Buna-N (nitrile) rubber sheet roll used for gasketing, sealing, vibration damping, and general-purpose padding in mechanical and industrial applications. The roll measures 4 inches wide by 5 feet long with a thickness of 0.062 inches and a plain backing for straightforward cutting and fitting. Shore A durometer is rated at 50, placing it in the medium-soft range for good conformability under compression. Tensile strength is rated at 2,500 psi. This material is handled and installed by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics who cut gaskets or seals to size on the job.

Buna-N rubber is well suited for applications involving petroleum-based oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, and many water-based solutions. This roll is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical systems where a field-cut gasket or seal is needed. Common use cases include pipe flange gaskets, equipment vibration isolation pads, and sealing strips. The plain backing allows the material to be cut with a utility knife or die punch to match any required profile. Operating temperature range spans -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F, making it suitable for most indoor mechanical environments.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound resists petroleum oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• 50 Shore A durometer provides medium-soft flexibility and good compression set resistance
• Tensile strength of 2,500 psi for reliable performance under mechanical stress
• 0.062-inch thickness accommodates standard gasketing and sealing clearances
• Plain backing allows field cutting with common shop tools
• Temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F covers most indoor mechanical service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose field-cut rubber sheeting material for gasketing, sealing, and padding applications in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial mechanical systems.

Installation Notes

Cut to the required shape using a utility knife, scissors, or die punch on a clean, flat surface. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installing a field-cut gasket or seal. Verify that the chemical environment of the application is compatible with Buna-N rubber before installation, particularly in systems carrying solvents, ketones, or ozone-generating equipment. No special tools or licensed trade certification is typically required for cutting and fitting sheet rubber, though gasket installation on pressurized systems should follow applicable codes and the equipment manufacturer's service instructions.
