Gasket Materials for the Purpose of Vibration Dampening

30 April 2018

Gaskets are an absolutely integral aspect of the production landscape. When you go into any factory, anywhere in the world, you are going to be introduced to machines that require all sorts of mechanical parts in order to operate effectively. Unknown to your eye, at least at first glance, are the gaskets that help keep […]

Freeze Resistant Gaskets: What Type of Material Should You Use?

12 April 2018

A seal fracture is imminent because a gasket has become brittle. The extreme chill has transformed the gasket material into a shadow of its former self. Although all liquefied gasses are moving properly in their pipes and fittings, that system flaw is jeopardizing the whole operation. Beyond question, a freeze resistant gasket should have been […]

Properties of Neoprene Gasket Material

28 March 2018

Neoprene, a versatile synthetic rubber, is a tolerant material. Used in gaskets, this well-established polymer retains its fluid-sealing characteristics when a fluid turns hot. It’s physically and mechanically stable, abrasion resistant, equipped with a handy flame retardant feature, and the rubber won’t break down in the presence of a petroleum-based fuel. That’s an attractive list […]

CNA or Compressed Non-Asbestos Gaskets: Most Common Uses and Applications

16 March 2018

Compressed Non-Asbestos gaskets go where that heat-resistant but potentially deadly silicate mineral cannot. Shortened to CNA, the following gasketing materials are every bit as thermally capable as that now defunct fibre, plus they’re chemically inert. Let’s check out some common applications, places where these fibre-based products function as entirely safe gasket materials. High-End HVAC Sector  […]

Tips in Avoiding Problems in Gasket Installation

26 February 2018

Just recently, one of our posts talked about gasket impacting influences. Of particular interest, mention was made of UV radiation and the elements. Well, the other notable culprit in that posting was installation error. The seals we talk about here are manufactured according to a stringently imposed set of engineering specs, so they must be […]
