Custom Rubber Gasket Materials
We can supply any and all non-metallic materials for your custom gasket needs. We maintain a very large and expansive inventory of solid and sponge rubber, plastic sheeting and insulating materials. If we don’t stock it, we’ll get it.
All of our commercial and Mil-Spec non-metallic materials are sourced from trusted suppliers. They are traceable back to incoming inspection and to our vendor’s certification.
Our custom rubber gaskets are available in various materials:
Viton® Gaskets – high-temperature and chemical-resistant, making them ideal for demanding environments, typically where the gasket is exposed to oils, fuels, and aggressive chemicals. Common applications for Viton gaskets include automotive fuel systems, industrial pump housings, aerospace equipment seals, chemical processing device seals, and high-temperature medical device housings.
Custom Silicone Gaskets – biocompatible with exceptional temperature flexibility and minimal leaching. Silicone is ideal for medical applications, food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and high-temperature industrial sealing. Uses include wearable device seals, infusion pump gaskets, diagnostic equipment connectors, food-contact equipment, and high-temperature industrial housings.
Nitrile Gaskets – synthetic rubber with superior compression set that offers excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and hydraulic fluids. Nitrile is cost-effective and found in many applications including hydraulic systems, automotive components, pump housings, fuel system seals, and general industrial equipment housings.
Custom Neoprene Gaskets – versatile material that balances chemical resistance, temperature stability, and cost-effectiveness. Neoprene gaskets perform well across less demanding uses including HVAC equipment seals, electrical enclosures, general industrial housings, automotive applications, and multipurpose sealing in processing equipment.
Custom EPDM Gaskets – Weather and ozone-resistant with excellent water and steam tolerance. EPDM is ideal for applications that are subject to prolonged moisture or temperature fluctuation exposure. Common applications include sterilization equipment seals, irrigation device housings, cooling system components, water treatment equipment, and laboratory instruments exposed to aqueous solutions.
