Nitrile (Buna N) Gaskets
Blaylock Gasket & Packing is proud to be your preferred source for Nitrile, also known as Buna-N. We proudly stock Buna-N in a wide variety of thicknesses, durometer, and sizes. Whether you need sheets, rolls or custom nitrile gaskets, Buna-N may be an ideal material for your specific application. As always, we partner with massive corporations, but we’re proud to be small business-friendly, refusing to hold our customers hostage by excessive minimums.
Buna Nitrile is an excellent oil-resistant sheet, commonly used in the oil industry for storage tanks and other applications where contact with oil or fuel is present. If your application involves direct contact with oil, Buna-N may be perfect for you. There are different grades of Nitrile and we would be happy to help you select the proper material to ensure an adequate seal. We also offer Nitrile extrusions, molded parts and O-Rings.
