Gasket Categories
Acid & Chemical Resistant Gaskets
Acid resistant gaskets are chemically inert gaskets that function as a barrier between mating surfaces and are commonly used for preventing gas/fluid leakage.
Adhesive Backed Gaskets
Adhesive backings are applied to a wide range of gasket materials, including: silicone, sponge, foam, solid rubber, sponge rubber, EPDM, neoprene, PVC, etc.
Copper Gaskets
Gaskets made from copper and copper based alloys, commonly used in automotive applications.
Cork Gaskets
Cork gaskets come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and grades. These gaskets are extraordinarily recoverable and impermeable under low bolting pressures.
Custom Gaskets
Custom gasket manufacturers making gaskets to customer specification in a variety of materials and sizes for a large range of industries and applications.
Die Cut Gaskets
Gaskets in a variety of materials that are manufactured through the process of die cutting. The die cutting process is the cutting of stock in a manner that does not form chips, or make use of burning or melting.
EMI Gaskets
EMI gaskets are used in applications where electromagnetic interference isolation is required, commonly between the shield housing and mating surface of a device.
Flange Gaskets
Flange gaskets are designed to seal any small gap remaining in a flanged joint connection most commonly in pipe applications.
Foam Gaskets
Foam gaskets are made in open and closed cell types and are used for a wide variety of applications from noise dampening to gas sealing.
Food Grade/FDA Approved Gaskets
Food grade gaskets are most commonly used in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries and may be made from materials such as EPDM or silicone.
Gasket Material
Gasket material is generaly sold in sheets and includes materials such as viton, neoprene, EPDM, silicone, natural rubber, Teflon and others.
High Temperature Gaskets
High temperature gaskets are used in extreme heat applications and come in a variety of materials.
O-Rings
O-rings are elastomer loops used as a gasketing device designed to be set in a groove and compressed to create a seal.
Piston Rings
A piston ring is a split ring that fits into a groove on the outer diameter of a piston in a reciprocating engine.
RFI Gaskets
RFI gaskets are used in applications where radio frequency interference isolation is required.
Rubber Gaskets
Rubber gaskets are used as a mechanical seal between two or more surfaces, generally under some amount of compression.
Subcategories
Seals
Seals are devices used to join two objects together in a manner preventing anything from passing between or generally joing two objects together.
Sealing Rings
Sealing rings are used in a number of applications including air conditioners, aircraft jet engines, blenders, gear boxes, heat exchangers, high speed turbine compressors, mixers, pumps, and water turbines.
Spiral Wound Gaskets
Spiral wound gaskets are semi-metallic and most commonly used in high pressure applications. These are typically made of two materials, one sealing and the other reinforcing, spiral wound into one gasket.
Stainless Steel Rings
Many ring types are available in stainless steel including piston rings, sealing rings, spacer rings, backing rings, dome rings, filter rings, reinforcement rings, tank rings, steering wheel rings, retaining rings, and decorative rings.
Teflon (PTFE) Gaskets
PTFE gaskets are often used in chemical applications.
