A Rubber Gasket

Rubber Gaskets

We manufacture a comprehensive range of gaskets from rubber and silicone composite materials to suit a multitude of applications. We hold a large stock of commercial and BS specification grade sheet materials or can supply specialist materials at highly competitive prices.

SBR Rubber Gaskets

SBR Rubber Gaskets

A cost-effective and versatile sealing solution. SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) is often used in applications where moderate temperature and pressure conditions are involved.

SBR Gaskets

 EPDM Rubber Gaskets

EPDM Rubber Gaskets

Most commonly found as an exterior sealing solution, EPDM has WRAS approval and provides strong resistance to environmental conditions over its lifespan.

EPDM Gaskets

Neoprene Rubber Gaskets

Neoprene Rubber Gaskets

Resistant to weather and abrasion, Neoprene rubber gaskets are also used where mild chemicals or oils are processed.

Neoprene Gaskets

Butyl Rubber Gaskets

Butyl Rubber Gaskets

The blend of isobutylene and isoprene forms an impermeable seal that is often used in processing gases. It also has excellent thermal and anti-ageing properties.

Butyl Gaskets

Hypalon Rubber Gaskets

Hypalon Rubber Gaskets

Hypalon is almost completely ozone and UV resistant with excellent recovery and stability properties when used in harsh environmental conditions.

Hypalon Gaskets

Silicone Rubber Gaskets

Silicone Rubber Gaskets

Silicone Rubber Gaskets have heat tolerance up to 220°C are often used in food production and has FDA approval.

Silicone Gaskets

Viton Rubber Gaskets

Viton Rubber Gaskets

This flouroelastomer compound is resistant to most petrochemicals, hydrocarbons and solvents. It’s commonly used in manufacturing, automotive and petrochemical applications.

Viton Gaskets

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets

Nitrile rubber gaskets are a versatile and reliable sealing solution for a variety of applications. They are resistant to a wide range of fluids, abrasion, and temperature extremes.

Nitrile Gaskets

The Manufacture of Rubber Gaskets

All gaskets are precision cut in-house using CNC, waterjet, punch press machinery. We utilise state-of-the-art production techniques and many years’ experience to quickly turnaround large volumes of rubber gaskets while ensuring consistency and accuracy.

We offer clients a full turnkey service, including materials specification, CAD design, manufacture and worldwide distribution. Equally, we can produce single or multiple gaskets from clients’ designs and templates. All gaskets are supplied to recognised national and international standards.

Rubber Selection

The term rubber gasket covers a massive range of materials for applications involving water, chemicals, fuels and oils, to name but a few. For example, EPDM rubber gaskets have excellent water and abrasion resistance, making them ideal for external sealing applications.

RUBBER GASKET APPLICATIONS
Rubber Gasket Applications And Uses

Rubber gaskets are widely found in a multitude of everyday industrial and domestic applications Most common uses for these gaskets include sealing substrates against leakage, environmental  factors, vibration, temperature and pressure. Different rubber polymer material sheets are used to manufacture gaskets that remain stable under extreme cold or extreme heat, or withstand corrosive chemicals without losing integrity and flexibility.
