SRBF Fibre Jointing Gaskets
SRBF Fibre Jointing Gaskets
Gaskets are one of ASG’s most popular products, manufactured using a multitude of materials from a range of unique suppliers and material manufacturers, many of which can be used in specialist sealing and gasketing applications. One such group of products offered from our vast catalogue are various types of fibre jointing gasketing materials, with one type being Synthetic Resin Bonded Fibre, sometimes also called SRBF, Synthetic Resin Bonded Fabrics or fabric based laminates. SRBF is available in a wide range of thicknesses including 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm and 20mm with a standard sheet size of 1220mm x 1220mm from which gaskets can be cut. The quality of the cut and finish of the gasket is just as important as the material used to ensure it doesn't fail, therefore we ensure our in-house manufacturing team follow our customers drawings or samples to create an exact match - whether it’s a simple square picture frame gasket or a more complex shape with cut-outs - we can offer a solution. From small samples quantities to multi-thousand batch runs, we have a machine to quickly and accurately produce perfectly formed gaskets in a range of sizes, these include a number of saws, presses and CNC machines.

What are SRBF Fibre Jointing Gaskets?
SRBF or Synthetic Resin Bonded Fibre gaskets are manufactured using a ‘phenolic’ material, this is one made up of layers, in this case using cotton cloth which is placed into a resin or varnish and bound together to create a high strength electrically insulating material. SRBF gaskets can be supplied in various grades including medium and fine weave which offer varying properties for use in different applications. SRBF gaskets are a selection of specially designed materials, which can be taken in the form of a strip or pad, but are generally an intricately cut shaped piece or ring of material placed within electrical applications.
Why use SRBF Fibre Jointing Glass?
Fibre jointing material like SRBF is often used in the production of gaskets as they offer electrical insulation properties, used to restrict the flow of electric current, by supporting electrical conductors - without allowing the current to pass through. SRBF material is recognised for it’s excellent wear resistance and electrical insulation properties, they are also rigid, lightweight, dimensionally stable therefore suitable for low voltage and abrasive applications and can be easily machined into intricately cut gaskets for use as fine tooth gears, bearings and jigs in low or medium voltage applications. SRBF gaskets can be cut and supplied as finished products, or supplied in full sheets for customers and end users to cut their own as and when required.
The Benefits of Using SRBF Fibre Jointing
- Offers enhanced machinability
- Low creep, dimensionally stable, wear resistance, low water absorption
- Excellent electrical insulating properties and chemical resistance
- Operating Temperature up to +115°C continuous
- Resistance to corrosion effects and low moisture resistance
- Multiple grades available
Grades of SRBF Fibre Jointing Available
SRBF Fine Weave (smooth) - manufactured to meet- BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-4-PFCC305. This smooth grade material offers excellent chemical resistance, electrical insulation and many other mechanical properties, suitable for intricately cut/machined components.
SRBF Fine Weave (coarse) - manufactured to meet BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-4-PFCC203, with every similar properties to the smooth grade but due to the texture isn't suited for intricate machining.
SRBF Medium Weave - manufactured to BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-4-PFCC201, is a great general purpose fabric material, offering high strength, wear resistance and low voltage electrical insulation.
SRBF (commercial) - is a more affordable alternative to the medium weave, manufactured to meet BS EN 60893 Standard: 3-4-PFCC203.
Advantages of using SRBF Fibre Jointing Gaskets
Using gaskets manufactured from SRBF or Synthetic Resin Bonded Fibre offer users a number of advantages, many of which are similar to those of SRBP, but with better load bearing capabilities in comparison. SRBF gaskets are used in applications where a dimensionally stable, impact resistant and rigid material is required for use in abrasive and low voltage applications and in comparison to plastics, it also offers low creep and corrosive resistant properties.
These gaskets are available in a range of thicknesses from 0.8mm up to 20mm, all of which can be supplied in a plain or self adhesive backed finish, and in components such as fine toothed gears, seals, geneva wheels, bearings, gears and jigs, etc. and used in wide range of high temperature applications, including in the automotive, electrical, white goods, lighting and energy markets.
