Gasket Paper – Durable Fibre Jointing for Sealing Applications
Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd (ASG) supplies high-quality fibre jointing gasket paper, providing a reliable solution for sealing, insulation, and gasketing applications across automotive, industrial, and transport sectors. Our in-house facilities allow us to convert gasket paper into custom sheets, pads, gaskets, washers, and strips, tailored to your exact specifications.
What Is Fibre Jointing Gasket Paper?
Gasket paper, also known as fibre jointing paper, is manufactured from a cellulose fibre base infused with a plasticised chemical treatment, typically gelatin. This treatment enhances the paper’s resistance to oil, petrol, water, grease, alcohol, and most solvents, making it ideal for sealing applications.
Gasket paper is available in thicknesses from 0.15mm to 6.4mm and comes in continuous rolls, with lengths dependent on thickness.
All conversion is carried out on-site, allowing ASG to create:
- Custom sheets (e.g., 1m x 1m)
- Die-cut pads, gaskets, washers, and strips
- Laminated or self-adhesive finishes
