Gaskets

Your seal is only as good as the gasket you use for the job. That’s why it’s so important to ensure you’re choosing a quality gasket supplier.

Whether it’s for custom packaging and kitting, engineering assistance, or prototyping, we have the gasket solutions for you.

Choosing the Right Gasket Material

Not sure which gasket material you need? We’ve got you covered. Seal & Design provides a wide array of gasket options including rubber, metallic, sponge, foam, and more along with custom options. To choose the best gasket material for your project, you need to determine what kind of stress, compression, and temperature your gasket will be dealing with. 

For instance, rubber gaskets are ideal for projects that require gasket seal applications in need of electrical resistance and water resistance. This is because rubber not only resists electricity but also resists corrosion. Additionally, elastomeric rubber compounds aren’t only used for gasketing products but also for o-rings for the same reason.

Compression is also important to consider when choosing the right gasket material. The wrong gasket can cause your system and joints to malform under pressure. Gaskets typically have a rating factor of PxT, which refers to the combination of pressure and temperature. This rating factor will help you determine the maximum limits of a given gasket material. It also addresses how certain gasket materials, such as neoprene and silicone, may be stronger in some temperatures than others.
