Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS60-298 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS60-298 is a stock-length Buna-N rubber strip used for sealing, gasketing, vibration dampening, and surface protection across a wide range of trade and industrial applications. Measuring 4 inches wide and 60 inches long, this strip carries a Shore A durometer rating of 60, placing it in the medium-firm range suitable for moderate compression sealing tasks. A pressure-sensitive adhesive backing allows for direct application without additional fasteners or adhesives. The black Buna-N compound offers solid resistance to oils, fuels, and water, making it a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work.

This rubber strip suits residential and light commercial installation scenarios where a field-cuttable sealing or padding material is needed. Common applications include HVAC duct sealing, pipe insulation support, equipment vibration isolation pads, and general gasketing where Buna-N chemical compatibility is appropriate. The adhesive backing simplifies installation on flat or low-contour surfaces. Technicians can cut the strip to length on site using standard utility knives or shears, reducing material waste and installation time.

Key Features

• Buna-N (nitrile) compound with good resistance to oils, fuels, and water
• Shore A 60 durometer - medium-firm, suitable for moderate compression sealing
• Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing for tool-free bonding to clean surfaces
• Stock length of 60 inches allows field cutting to exact dimensions
• Rated for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F
• Tensile strength of 2500 psi for reliable performance under compression and light tension

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber strip suitable for sealing, gasketing, and vibration isolation tasks in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance applications where nitrile rubber chemical compatibility is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or maintenance professionals using standard utility knives or scissors to cut the strip to the required length. Clean and dry the mating surface thoroughly before applying the adhesive-backed strip to ensure proper bond strength. Avoid installing on surfaces with active moisture, oils, or loose contaminants, as these will reduce adhesion. Verify that the operating temperature range of -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F is appropriate for the intended application before installation.
