Ring Joint Gaskets Manufacturer's gaskets are an important part of many objects and equipment. They form a strong barrier and seal between the two connected surfaces to prevent leakage under compression. Gaskets can be used in a variety of applications, such as plumbing, vehicles, electronics, medical equipment, etc. There are many different types of gasket materials, but we have broken down the most common materials.

　　Cork

　　Cork gaskets have higher compressibility and flexibility than many other gasket materials. Due to their expansion characteristics, these gaskets are the first choice because they can maintain a strong seal. Combined with elastomer adhesives, cork gaskets have high flexibility and compressibility, making them ideal for applications involving oils, fuels, and solvents.

　　Metal

　　Non-Asbestos Gaskets Factory's metal gaskets are heavy-duty and can withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and chemical exposure. Because metals naturally expand and contract due to their physical properties, metal gaskets have been relied on for many years and have withstood the test of time. Metal gaskets are very suitable for heat exchangers, turbines, compressors, etc.

　　fiber

　　Fibrous material is actually a broad term that covers many different types of materials, including cellulose and even exotic aramid materials. These materials are used in applications where low temperatures and/or high internal pressures exist. Most of these materials will have some kind of rubber adhesive to provide some flexibility to the material.

　　Rubber

　　Rubber gaskets are flexible and reliable and are widely used in various household applications. These are softer gasket materials that can be used in various applications and different environments. Popular types of rubber include nitrile rubber, neoprene, and silicone. Rubber gaskets are ideal for applications that need to prevent liquid leakage.

　　Although there are countless types of rubber gaskets in use today, these three are the most common. But as every manufacturer knows, even the most common gasket types are not suitable for every project. At Auto Gasket Company, we focus on custom gasket work, producing gaskets with the precise dimensions and functions you need. No matter what kind of gasket you are looking for, we can help.
