Description

BUNA-N, also known as nitrile rubber (NBR) or Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber, is a synthetic copolymer widely used for sanitary sealing. Our BUNA-N Tri-Clamp gaskets provide reliable performance across food, dairy, beverage, and general processing applications with excellent resistance to compression set, tear, and abrasion .
These gaskets offer solid compatibility with acids and milk alkali , and they handle most vegetable oil service. With a practical temperature rating of -30°F to 255°F , BUNA-N delivers dependable sealing in everyday duty cycles while remaining a cost-effective, easy-to-replace consumable.
Available in Black, White, and Blue color options and formulated for FDA compliance for appropriate food-contact applications, BUNA-N Tri-Clamp gaskets are a proven choice for sanitary pipelines and equipment.

Verify size, media compatibility, and regulatory requirements before purchase.
