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 used for a range of purposes, due to its versatility. These include sealing, anti-vibration, noise reduction and supporting mounts.
How a gasket works
A rubber gasket is a smart component that seals against both liquids and gases. The characteristics of a gasket are to be manipulable and able to warp into the tight space it is designed for.They are the perfect solution to fill in irregularities and connect two surfaces together.
Gaskets'diverse properties make them suitable for a broad range of applications and can be used across many industries, such as Food Processing, Pharmaceutical, Water, Petrochemical and Oil and Gas.
What materials can be used to make gaskets?
Gaskets can be created to standard specifications or bespoke to suit the needs of the application. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be created from a range of materials. These include a variety of common polymers; gasket sheet materials, such as synthetic, silicone and high performing engineering rubbers, as well as plastics. The range of materials available to create gaskets ensures that whatever the application there is an appropriate gasket material to fit the situation.
