Types of rubber gaskets
Rubber gaskets are an indispensable component in many industrial and domestic applications, providing tightness and protection against leaks and contamination. Depending on specific requirements, different types of rubber gaskets are available to meet specific functions and requirements. The most popular types are listed below:
O-Ring rubber seals
O-Ring seals are one of the most commonly used rubber seals, which have a simple circular cross-section. They are used in both static and dynamic joints. These seals are manufactured from a variety of rubber materials, such as NBR, EPDM, SBR or silicone, which allows them to be used under a range of temperature and chemical conditions.
- Applications: Automotive, hydraulics, pneumatics, domestic appliances.
- Advantages: Easy installation, wide choice of materials, low production cost.
Self-adhesive gaskets
Self-adhesive gaskets have an adhesive layer that makes them easy to install, especially in hard-to-reach areas or where a temporary seal is needed.
- Applications: Window and door seals, electronics, temporary applications.
- Advantages: Easy to install, quick application, versatile.
Flat gaskets
Flat gaskets are cut from rubber sheets and can come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on the specific needs of the application. They are ideal for sealing flat surfaces such as flange connections.
- Applications: Pipelines, water systems, chemical industry.
- Advantages: Customisable shape, chemical resistance, good sealing properties.
Rubber profiles
Rubber profiles are manufactured in a variety of shapes and profiles to suit specific requirements. They are used where a precise fit and flexibility are needed. They are made from materials such as EPDM, NBR, SBR or silicone.
- Applications: Doors and windows, automotive seals, air conditioning systems.
- Advantages: Weather resistance, flexibility, durability.
Speciality gaskets
Specialised rubber seals are designed for unique requirements such as high chemical or thermal resistance or specific medical applications. They can be made of rubber and other materials, such as plastics.
- Applications: Chemical industry, food industry, medical industry, installation industry.
- Advantages: Special properties tailored to demanding applications, high strength.
