As a leading supplier of rubber gasket in Australia, we’re familiar with the challenges that manufacturing brings and are fully able to meet them. Industrial gaskets and sealants provide a mechanical seal to prevent leaks of liquids or gases, as a barrier between two objects or as protection from outside elements. Their role is absolutely critical because a failure can pose serious problems, so our manufacturing process is all about paying attention to detail and enforcing strict quality control measures.

Rubber Gasket — a Vital Component in Many Products
The versatility of a rubber gasket seal means it’s used in countless products that all vary in characteristics and needs. As a result, almost every rubber gasket is custom-made to suit a particular application precisely. Consequently, you need rubber gasket manufacturers, such as Gulf Rubber, to ensure your gaskets satisfy your needs and meet exact specifications. With a focus on quality, Gulf Rubber provides rubber gaskets Australia can rely on for durable performance in industries ranging from automotive to food processing.
A Wide Range of Materials and Suitability with our Rubber Gaskets
For each new industrial gasket, we’ll take the technical specification of your product to determine what is needed, particularly in terms of rubber for gaskets. These rubber compound materials have varying properties, especially relating to their:
- Durometer, which is a measure of a material’s hardness and its resistance to permanent indentation. Materials with a lower durometer are more supple but are prone to indentations while those with a higher durometer are heavier with more density and less flexibility.
- Tensile strength, which determines the maximum stress a material can undergo when stretched before it tears or cracks.
- Nitrile. A commonly used material that is resistant to oil and grease, has superior tear and abrasion resistance but does not weather well. It is often used in automotive applications and food processing.
- Neoprene. This all-purpose polymer has good resistance to weathering and ozone, and moderate resistance to petroleum products. Industrial seals & gaskets made from this material are easily compressed and resistant to temperature extremes, so are often used for refrigerator doors.
- EPDM can withstand extreme temperature ranges and has excellent resistance to ultraviolet rays, weathering, oil and grease, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
- Silicone is resistant to ozone and ultraviolet light, is suitable for high-temperature conditions and can withstand high pressure but has poor tear strength. It is commonly used in the automotive rubber manufacturing industry and for electrical insulation.
