Shotblast Rubber Seals
Shotblast Rubber Seals. At Advanced Seals and Gaskets, we understand the challenges posed by abrasive conditions and are proud to offer a product designed to excel in such settings. Our Shotblast Rubber Seals are engineered to provide superior protection and sealing integrity, ensuring optimal performance in shotblasting and abrasive applications.
Key Features:
- Abrasion Resistance: Our Shotblast Rubber Seals are manufactured using premium-grade rubber compounds specifically formulated to withstand the abrasion caused by shotblasting processes. This high abrasion resistance extends the lifespan of the seals, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Tight Sealing: Engineered for exceptional sealing effectiveness, our seals create a reliable barrier against abrasive particles, dust, and contaminants. This tight sealing prevents the ingress of damaging elements, contributing to equipment longevity and reduced maintenance.
- Reinforced Strength: Shotblast Rubber Seals are reinforced with additional materials to enhance their structural integrity and resistance to impact. This reinforcement ensures that the seals maintain their shape and sealing performance under harsh conditions.
- Shock Absorption: The unique composition of our seals includes shock-absorbing properties, mitigating the impact of shotblasting forces and reducing wear and tear on both the seals and the surrounding components.
- Chemical Resistance: Our Shotblast Rubber Seals exhibit remarkable resistance to various chemicals and fluids commonly encountered in industrial environments. This chemical resistance enhances the durability of the seals and contributes to their reliability.
- Customization: We understand the diversity of shotblasting applications. Our Shotblast Rubber Seals can be tailored to meet specific size, shape, and sealing requirements, ensuring a seamless fit in various equipment and machinery.
- Easy Installation: Designed for ease of installation, our seals facilitate efficient assembly, replacement, or maintenance procedures, minimizing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency.
One of the product ranges supplied by Advanced Seals & Gaskets includes Solid Shotblast rubber seals which is just one of thousands of products on offer. We supply the highest quality solid shotblast rubber seals taking the forms of gaskets, washers, O-rings, mouldings and extrusions, which are all designed for the purpose of preventing leaks or the ingress of dust, dirst, air, fluids and gas or for insulation and protection. Our Shotblast Rubber seals are made to order and are produced using samples or drawings provided by customers to ensure the final product perfectly fits the application and doesn't fail. As each form of seal needs to be manufactured using a different process, ASG have invested heavily in various machinery meaning we can offer most seal types in high or low quantities.
Applications:
- Shotblasting Equipment: Our seals are essential components in shotblasting machinery, ensuring effective sealing against abrasive particles and contaminants during the blasting process.
- Mining and Construction: Shotblast Rubber Seals find application in heavy machinery used in mining and construction industries, where abrasive materials and harsh conditions are common.
- Manufacturing: These seals are valuable in manufacturing processes that involve abrasive materials or particles, such as metal fabrication and surface preparation.
- Foundries: Shotblast Rubber Seals play a crucial role in foundries, where abrasive processes are used for cleaning, shaping, and finishing metal products.
- Industrial Cleaning: Our seals are suitable for industrial cleaning equipment that employs abrasive materials to remove dirt, rust, and coatings from surfaces.
At Advanced Seals and Gaskets, we specialize in delivering sealing solutions tailored to demanding environments. Our Shotblast Rubber Seals exemplify our dedication to innovation, durability, and reliability, making them an indispensable asset for industries seeking top-tier sealing solutions for shotblasting and abrasive applications. Choose Advanced Seals and Gaskets' Shotblast Rubber Seals to elevate your industrial processes with seals that excel in the face of abrasion and challenging conditions.

What are Solid Shotblast Rubber Seals?
Shotblast rubber seals are a product or component often produced in the form of cut or pressed gaskets, washers, strips, and extruded or moulded profiles and edge trims. Shotblast or Tan Para rubber seals can be used as gap fillers between uneven surfaces, as a separator or barrier to prevent liquids, particles or gases escaping or penetrating the application and in a number of vibration dampening, sealing and insulation applications. Solid shotblast rubber materials are produced using natural latex, creating a ‘tan’ coloured soft rubber material - sometimes described as having a similar texture and appearance to material used to manufacture elastic bands. This material has been formulated to have outstanding abrasion and tear resistance, therefore making a very robust and resilient material ideal for use in a range of sealing applications.
Why use Solid Shotblast Rubber Seals?
Solid shotblast rubber seals offer a high tensile strength, excellent resistance to abrasion and tear and a good resistance to weak chemicals, dilute acids and alkalis. It is manufactured in a shore hardness of 45°, has a working temperature range of - 40°C to +85°C and is pre-manufactured in a wide range of standard thicknesses in roll form which most flat seals can be cut from, however for bespoke profiles will need to be made to order using moulding or extrusion methods.
Benefits of using Shotblast Rubber
- Can withstand harsh or abrasive media
- Working Temperature Range: -25°C to +70°C.
- Excellent resistance to abrasion.
- Good strength and durability.
- High elasticity
- Excellent tear strength
Different Types of Shotblast Rubber Available
Black shotblast rubber - manufactured from a black abrasion resistant grade natural rubber. This material, like the Tan variety, is extremely durable with an excellent tear resistance and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C for use within the most demanding construction applications.
Advantages of Using Solid Shotblast Rubber Seals
Seals produced from solid Shotblast (Tan Para) rubber or components cut from these rolls of material bring many advantages to users. It is a strong, flexible and highly abrasive resistant natural rubber - even when used with harsh media, that is available in tan or black colour options (with the tan being more readily available) and has a hardness of around 45° to 50° shore depending on the colour taken. Rolls of shotblast rubber are pre-manufactured in a range of thicknesses allowing for quicker lead times for cut seals as the splitting process used with sponge and foam conversion is eliminated. Shotblast rubber can also be moulded or extruded, meaning perfectly formed, identical seals can be produced in high or low quantities for use as shot-blast cabinet seals, wear or impact protection, tubes, pipes, chutes, scraper blades, etc.
