Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS50-315 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS50-315 is a Buna-N (nitrile) rubber strip designed for sealing, gasketing, vibration damping, and surface protection applications across mechanical and industrial trades. It measures 6 inches wide by 60 inches long and carries a Shore A durometer rating of 50, indicating a medium-soft, compressible hardness suitable for conforming to irregular surfaces. The adhesive backing allows for direct application without additional fasteners or adhesives. Tensile strength is rated at 2500 psi. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians, plumbers, millwrights, and general maintenance crews reach for this material when a cut-to-fit sealing or cushioning solution is needed.

This strip is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where oil resistance, fuel resistance, and moderate temperature tolerance are required. Common install scenarios include pipe penetration sealing, equipment mounting pad isolation, panel edge lining, and door or access panel gasketing. The stock length format allows a single piece to be cut on-site to the required dimensions using standard utility knives or scissors.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) rubber construction provides strong resistance to oils, fuels, and many hydraulic fluids
• Shore A 50 durometer delivers medium-soft compressibility for conforming seals and vibration isolation
• Adhesive backing enables tool-free, direct-bond installation on clean, dry surfaces
• Rated from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F, covering typical mechanical room and rooftop operating ranges
• 2500 psi tensile strength supports durable, tear-resistant performance in compression sealing applications
• Stock 60-inch length is field-trimmable to fit custom gasket or seal profiles

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber sealing and gasketing strip for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications requiring oil-resistant, medium-durometer rubber material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, pipefitters, or general maintenance personnel. Before applying the adhesive-backed strip, ensure the mating surface is clean, dry, and free of oil, dust, or loose paint to achieve full adhesive bond. Cut to length using a sharp utility knife and a straightedge for clean, accurate edges. Allow adequate contact pressure when pressing the strip onto the surface to activate the adhesive bond.
