  • What are sealing gaskets?

    Sealing gaskets, also known as seal gaskets, are essential components used to create a secure and leak-proof seal between two mating surfaces. They are typically made of materials such as rubber, silicone, or metal, chosen for their ability to withstand pressure, temperature, and chemical exposure. A seal gasket is designed to fill irregularities and imperfections in mating surfaces, preventing the escape or ingress of fluids or gases. They provide an effective barrier against leaks, ensuring the integrity and efficiency of various systems and equipment, including pipes, flanges, valves, pumps, and engines.
     

  • How does a sealing gasket work?

    A sealing gasket, such as a head gasket seal or rubber gasket seal, is designed to create a reliable and leak-proof seal between two mating surfaces. It fills the gaps and irregularities in the mating surfaces, helping to avoid the escape or ingress of fluids or gases. The gasket material, commonly made of rubber or other flexible materials, is placed between the surfaces to be sealed. When the surfaces are compressed or bolted together, the gasket undergoes deformation, creating a tight seal. The elastic nature of the gasket allows it to conform to the mating surfaces, effectively blocking any leakage points. This ensures the integrity and efficiency of various systems, such as engines, pipelines, and industrial equipment, where gasket seals are crucial for preventing leaks and maintaining operational reliability.
     

  • What do you use sealing gaskets for?

    A seal Sealing gasket is utilised in a wide range of applications to create reliable and leak-proof seals. It is commonly used in plumbing systems, automotive engines, industrial machinery, pipelines, and various mechanical equipment. They are used in flanges, valves, pumps, engines, and other components where tight seals are necessary. Sealing gaskets help to prevent leaks, maintain pressure, withstand temperature and chemical exposure, and provide vibration or shock absorption. Their versatility and effectiveness make sealing gaskets indispensable in numerous industries, where they contribute to safe and reliable operation.
