What are Custom Rubber Seals and Gaskets?
Rubber gaskets and seals form barriers between two objects, preventing leaks and contamination. The compressibility of rubber gaskets provides a sealing opportunity between two surfaces. They are typically made from rubber, but they can also be made from other materials, such as plastic or metal.
Custom rubber seals and gaskets are used in a wide variety of applications, including:
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Petrochemical
- Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems
- Chemical Industry
- Food Industry
Advantages of Custom Rubber Seals and Gaskets
Custom rubber seals and gaskets offer a number of advantages over off-the-shelf seals, including:
- Improved Performance: Custom rubber seals and gaskets can be designed to meet specific performance requirements, such as operating temperature, pressure, or chemical compatibility.
- Reduced Costs: Custom rubber seals and gaskets can be less expensive than off-the-shelf seals in the long run, due to their improved performance and durability.
- Increased Reliability: Custom rubber seals and gaskets can help to improve the reliability of your equipment by reducing the risk of leaks and failures.
Types of Custom Rubber Seals and Gaskets
Custom rubber seals and gaskets can be made from a variety of rubber materials, each with its own unique properties. The most common types of rubber used for custom seals and gaskets include:
- Nitrile (NBR): NBR is a versatile rubber that is resistant to oils, fuels, and solvents.
- Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): EPDM is resistant to ozone, weather, and hot water.
- Fluorocarbon (FKM): FKM is resistant to extreme temperatures, high pressures, and aggressive chemicals.
- Silicone (VMQ): Silicone is resistant to high temperatures, food-grade compatibility, and compression set.
How to Choose Custom Rubber Seals and Gaskets
When choosing custom rubber seals and gaskets, it is important to consider the following factors:
- Operating Conditions: The operating conditions of your application, such as temperature, pressure, and chemical compatibility, will determine the type of rubber material and other specifications that you need.
- Application Requirements: The specific requirements of your application, such as size, shape, and performance, will also need to be considered.
