Rubber gaskets are innovative mechanical rubber seals that ensure the prevention of leaks between two surfaces. This blog will guide you detailed introduce the basics of gaskets . What is a gasket? An EPDM gasket seal fills a space between two substrate sections to avoid leaks. It is usually a shaped sheet o-ring that will cap the intersection between two surfaces. This flexible component can be u...
When you looking for a high performance gasket, rubber seals often lack the ability to remain durable if an application comes in contact with oils. For these situations, consider using gaskets made of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, also known as oil resistant rubber - NBR. Nitrile Butadiene Rubber is one of the few rubbers that are particularly resistant to petroleum, mineral, and vegetable oils,...
There are various techniques that can be used in order to create a rubber gasket that ideally fits the purpose of use and provides a solution to an assortment of problems including gasket cutting, gasket punching and rubber moulding. Here at Fuste Rubber, we create all of our rubber gaskets through the process of rubber moulding. This method takes raw rubber compound, places it into a mould, then ...
Custom Rubber components offer a variety of benefits over more traditional metal fasteners. Some of the primary advantages of using rubber componets include: Rubber Vibration absorber. Rubber hardware helps to absorb vibration, reducing the potential for wear, creep, and displacement. Added flexibility. Rubber is more flexible than traditional metal components, which provides a more secure fit wit...
EPDM stands for ethylene propylene diene monomer, which is a bit of a mouthful, so it’s commonly shortened to EPDM or EPDM rubber。 EPDM seals are manufactured using an advanced formulation of elastomer with a wide range of uses.EPDM gets its name from the chemicals (monomers) that are mixed together in various proportions to form it. These are ethylene, propylene and diene. The ethylene content is...
Excessive heat can gradually degrade rubber materials, leading to deteriorating performance and premature failure. As such, high-temperature applications require high-temperature-resistant rubber products that offer dependable performance no matter what. Natural rubber should not be used in applications with continuous temperature of above 85 °C. For some high-temperature applications, that simply...
