Gaskets

Here at Advanced Seals and Gaskets, we offer a range of high-quality gaskets using a variety of different materials suited for the job.

We produce our gaskets in-house using state of the art machinery, which means that we can manufacture bespoke items to match our customer’s samples and drawings; from a simple rectangular picture frame gasket to a more complex shape with cut-outs – we can offer a solution that is bespoke to you. Whether it’s a small sample batch or a multi-thousand run, we have a machine to quickly and accurately produce perfectly formed gaskets in a range of sizes, including a number of presses, CNC and kiss-cut machines. Our gaskets can be produced plain or with a choice of finishes including foils, self-adhesives or laminated to other materials. Depending on the size and quantity of the gasket, they can be supplied as loosely packed parts or kiss-cut on rolls.

What are Gaskets?

Gaskets can come in the form of a strip or pad but are generally an intricately cut shaped piece of material placed between two surfaces to create a low-pressure seal preventing the leakage of liquids or gas and to seal against the intrusion of dust and debris when under compression. Gaskets can be manufactured in a range of materials including rubber, foam, plastic and cork to name a few, with each material having its own set of properties which makes them perfect for a variety of applications and environments. If you need advice on materiality, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to help.

Why use Gaskets?

Gaskets are used to fill gaps and irregularities between two surfaces. They also provide a solution to unwanted rattles, noise, vibrations, and to seal against air, gas, dust and liquids. They can also be used to cushion between moving parts to reduce friction and damage to components and equipment. In order for a gasket to work effectively, it needs to compress and fill the entire space to create a pressure/airtight protective seal, this is why we are proud to manufacture our gaskets in-house to offer the perfect bespoke solution and high-quality finish. Gaskets are an important part found in many applications and industries such as electrical equipment, automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, chemical industries and food/drink/pharmaceutical processing industries, and we are happy to discuss your industry and application to help you find the perfect solution.

Benefits

Advanced Seals and Gaskets work with a network of material suppliers and manufacturers, meaning we have the ability to produce gaskets suitable for use in virtually any industry. We also manufacture all gaskets in-house meaning we can help with designing, your material and adhesive choice, and we can produce samples for testing to ensure we supply the perfect gasket for your application. Some of the characteristics and resistances often sought when choosing the right material for gasket production include flexibility, compression, flame retardancy, wide working temperature range, resistance to chemicals, acids, pressure, liquids, air and gas, and we have the materials and knowledge to create the perfect gasket to tick your boxes. Gaskets serve a number of purposes such as preventing leaks and loss of pressure, cushioning, insulation against noise and vibration, ensuring industrial safety in challenging environments where there are chemicals, electricity and high temperatures present and also maintaining hygiene in medical and food/drink applications.
