Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS50-298 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS50-298 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip designed for sealing, gasketing, cushioning, and vibration-dampening applications across mechanical and industrial trades. It measures 4 inches wide by 60 inches long and carries a Shore A durometer rating of 50, placing it in the medium-soft range - firm enough to hold shape under compression but compliant enough to conform to mating surfaces. The black strip features a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for fast, tool-free installation. With a tensile strength of 2500 psi and a rated temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F, it holds up in demanding service environments.

This Buna-N rubber strip is suited for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical installation work where a flexible, oil-resistant seal or cushion is needed. Common applications include door and panel gasketing, pipe and duct insulation support, equipment vibration isolation, and surface protection. The adhesive backing allows direct application to metal, plastic, or composite surfaces without additional fasteners or adhesives. Stock-length format makes it easy to cut to fit in the field with standard utility tools.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) rubber construction offers good resistance to oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids
• Shore A 50 durometer provides medium-soft compliance for sealing against irregular surfaces
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing enables fast, clean installation without additional hardware
• Tensile strength of 2500 psi supports use in moderate mechanical stress applications
• Rated from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F for year-round service in varied environments
• 60-inch stock length is field-cuttable to exact dimension with a utility knife or shears

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or new-installation rubber strip for use in HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and industrial applications requiring Buna-N material with adhesive backing.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools - a utility knife or rubber shears is sufficient for trimming to length. Clean and dry the mounting surface before applying the adhesive backing to ensure proper adhesion. This strip is intended for surfaces within its rated temperature range; avoid applications exceeding 170 degrees F. No power shutoff is required for strip installation, though all nearby equipment should be depressurized or de-energized as appropriate before accessing sealed panels or components.
