Rubber gaskets

RUBBER GASKETS

We manufacture a comprehensive range of gaskets from rubber and silicone composite materials to suit a multitude of applications. We hold a large stock of commercial and BS specification grade sheet materials or can supply specialist materials at highly competitive prices.

Commercial Rubber Gaskets
A general purpose, low cost option with moderate tensile strength and abrasion resistance. commonly used in low specification sealing applications.

Insertion Rubber Gaskets
Rubber and styrene-butadiene composite with a fabric reinforcement used in many common sealing applications where water or mild chemicals are a factor.

EPDM Rubber Gaskets
Most commonly found as an exterior sealing solution, EPDM has WRAS approval and provides strong resistance to environmental conditions over its lifespan.

Neoprene Rubber Gaskets
Resistant to weather and abrasion, Neoprene rubber gaskets are also used where mild chemicals or oils are processed.

Butyl Rubber Gaskets
The blend of isobutylene and isoprene forms an impermeable seal that is often used in processing gases. It also has excellent thermal and anti-ageing properties.

Hypalon Rubber Gaskets
Hypalon is almost completely ozone and UV resistant with excellent recovery and stability properties when used in harsh environmental conditions.

Silicon Rubber Gaskets
Silicon Rubber Gaskets have heat tolerance up to 220°C are often used in food production and has FDA approval.

Viton Rubber Gaskets
The flouroelastomer compound is resistant to most petrochemicals, hydrocarbons and solvents. It’s commonly used in manufacturing, automotive and petrochemical applications. Up to 220C

The Manufacture of Rubber Gaskets

All gaskets are precision cut in-house using CNC, waterjet, punch press machinery. We utilise state-of-the-art production techniques and many years’ experience to quickly turnaround large volumes of rubber gaskets while ensuring consistency and accuracy.

We offer clients a full turnkey service, including materials specification, CAD design, manufacture and worldwide distribution. Equally, we can produce single or multiple gaskets from clients’ designs and templates. All gaskets are supplied to recognised national and international standards.

Rubber Selection
The term rubber gasket covers a massive range of materials for applications involving water, chemicals, fuels and oils, to name but a few. For example, EPDM rubber gaskets have excellent water and abrasion resistance, making them ideal for external sealing applications.

Rubber Gasket Materials

The properties of common sheet rubber polymers optimise performance of the materials under specific circumstances of heat, moisture and pressure. Below we have listed some common rubber and rubber polymers as guidance to their characteristics in operation.
