Industrial Gaskets

Industrial Gaskets & Seals Use and Functionality

A gasket is simply an elastomeric component that covers the point where two surfaces meet. Its main function is to prevent leaks and, to do this, it must be compressed so that it fills any irregularities and creates a tight and impenetrable seal. Gaskets are also used to protect contents and to prevent moving parts from creating friction when they rub against hard surfaces.

For a perfect outcome, industrial gaskets and seals have to be manufactured from materials that will deform under pressure. Common ones used are Nitrile, Ethylene Propylene (EPDM), Silicone and Neoprene. Some gaskets are manufactured from a mixture of metals and softer materials, so they are extremely durable as well as flexible. When making a gasket, we choose the most suitable material for a particular application based on specific needs. These can include its:

• flexibility, so that it deforms to fill any irregularities in component surfaces and forms a perfect seal that prevents any leaks
• anti-vibration and noise reduction characteristics
• ability to protect moving parts from damage
• resistance to extreme temperatures, pressure and chemicals.

As a result of their many forms and characteristics, industrial gaskets and sealents are used in a variety of equipment such as pumps and electrical equipment, and in door seals. Their adaptability means they’re widely used in many industries such as pharmaceuticals and food processing where high hygiene standards are essential, deep sea operations that depend on reliability and aerospace where precision is crucial.
