Rubber gaskets in sewer systems - the key to durability and tightness
Rubber seals perform a key function in ensuring the tightness and durability of plumbing systems. They are an essential component of pipe connections, preventing water and other liquids from leaking out of water and sewer systems. Thanks to their properties, rubber seals guarantee the reliability of the entire system, preventing leaks that could lead to serious breakdowns and damage to the infrastructure.
In this article we will present the most important information about rubber gaskets used in plumbing, their materials, types and advantages. We will also discuss the production of these components at M.O.L. ROMGUM, which has specialised for more than 30 years in the production of high-quality rubber gaskets ideal for plumbing and construction applications.
Rubber gaskets - materials and types
Rubber seals are manufactured from various types of rubber, including EPDM (ethylene propylene diene rubber), SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) and NBR (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber). The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the sewer system in question and the conditions under which it will be operated.
- EPDM rubber is characterised by excellent resistance to weathering, ozone and high temperatures. It is ideal for applications in water and wastewater systems that need to withstand harsh operating conditions.
- SBR rubber is a flexible, abrasion-resistant material that is ideal for use in installations that are exposed to fats, acids or other chemicals.
- NBR rubber is a material used in situations where resistance to oils and fuels is required, which is why it is often used in industrial installations.
Production of rubber seals
The rubber gaskets produced by M.O.L. ROMGUM are manufactured using modern technologies, including injection moulding. This makes it possible to obtain gaskets with uniform characteristics, even with short production times. The company offers a wide range of gaskets that can be tailored to individual customer requirements.
- Type DD gaskets - mainly used for pipes made of plastic, such as PP and PVC. They are characterised by two lips, which provides double security for the joint.
- Trapper seals - Ideal for joining cast iron pipes with pipes made of plastic. They have a multi-lobed design that adheres perfectly to uneven pipe surfaces.
- Seals for DS-MOL system pressure pipes - used in pressure installations, provide reliable, leak-proof connections thanks to its three-layer design.
- Gaskets for corrugated pipes - designed for corrugated pipes, manufactured from SBR or EPDM rubbers to provide flexibility and resistance to harsh conditions.
The use of rubber seals in drainage systems
Rubber seals are widely used in a variety of plumbing systems, both in residential and industrial construction. Thanks to their flexibility and resistance to external conditions, they are indispensable in installations that have to withstand difficult operating conditions.
- Sewage systems - Rubber seals prevent leaks in sewer pipe connections, ensuring a leak-proof system. The use of suitable materials, such as EPDM or SBR, makes them resistant to water, sewage and other contaminants.
- Water supply systems - In water supply systems, rubber seals ensure that water pipe connections remain tight, minimising the risk of leaks. Thanks to their resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, they are ideal for these installations.
- Rainwater systems - Rubber seals are also used in rainwater drainage systems, where they ensure the tightness of pipe connections, which is particularly important for systems with pipes of different diameters and materials.
