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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Inherently resilient, gaskets form lasting sealing components. Still, even this fluid-blockading property has its limits. That’s why manufacturers know so much about their wares. They collaborate with suppliers, talk to industry experts, and they know which gasket materials suit specific applications. On the flip side of that coin, there’s a corresponding dictate, a need to […]
