Usa Industrials BULK-RS-HUS70-277 Buna-n Rubber Strip

Product Description

The USA INDUSTRIALS BULK-RS-HUS70-277 is a black Buna-N (nitrile) rubber strip rated at Shore A 70 durometer, cut to a stock length of 60 inches with a 2-inch width. Buna-N rubber is a synthetic elastomer well suited for applications involving oils, fuels, and many common industrial fluids. At 70 Shore A, this strip delivers a firm yet flexible profile appropriate for gasketing, sealing, cushioning, and vibration damping tasks. The plain backing allows field trimming and adhesive bonding as needed. HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades use this material type as a general-purpose sealing and protective strip on a wide range of equipment and structural surfaces.

This rubber strip is appropriate for residential and commercial applications wherever a durable, oil-resistant elastomer is required. Typical uses include equipment base pads, door and panel gasketing, pipe and duct insulation supports, and surface protection strips. The 60-inch stock length accommodates most field-cut sealing and cushioning jobs without splicing. Its temperature rating from -20 degrees F to 170 degrees F makes it suitable for both indoor mechanical rooms and moderate-temperature outdoor environments. Mechanical contractors, HVAC technicians, and plumbers are the primary installers of this material type.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose Buna-N rubber strip for use in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial mechanical applications requiring an oil-resistant elastomeric sealing or cushioning material.

Installation Notes

Rubber strip installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or mechanical contractors using utility knives or shears for field cutting. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of grease or debris before applying the strip. When using contact adhesive or mechanical fasteners, follow the adhesive manufacturer guidelines and applicable mechanical codes for the installation environment. Avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the rated range, strong oxidizing acids, or aromatic solvents, which can degrade Buna-N rubber.
