These gaskets are made from fibrous materials (like aramid or cellulose) mixed with a binder (NBR, SBR, etc.) to create a dense, flexible sheet material. They are used in a wide range of general-purpose applications across various industries, including water, oil, and mild chemicals.
Made from exfoliated graphite, these gaskets have excellent resistance to heat and chemicals, making them suitable for high-temperature applications, steam, and most chemicals, except for highly oxidizing agents.
PTFE gaskets offer outstanding chemical resistance and are suitable for use with nearly all industrial fluids, except molten alkali metals and elemental fluorine. They are often used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and other applications requiring clean, non-contaminating materials.
Available in various materials (e.g., NBR, EPDM, Silicone, Viton), rubber gaskets are used for their flexibility, resilience, and ability to seal under low bolt loads. They’re commonly used for water, mild acids, gases, and other low-to-medium temperature and pressure applications.
Used for their compressibility and flexibility, cork gaskets are ideal for applications requiring low to medium bolt loads. They are commonly found in automotive, electrical, and low-pressure applications.
