Moulding of static or dynamic seal gaskets

Compact or expanded industrial gaskets made from many varieties of rubber according to use.

Gaskets are used in any industrial or food application that requires a static or dynamic seal.

We make them to customer specifications in any shape and size, using a broad range of materials and technologies. We can meet any requirement for small or large production batches.

THE APPLICATION DETERMINES THE BEST MATERIAL

The choice of material to use is the first step towards optimum results, and depends on factors such as:

• application
• use conditions (environmental, pressure, contact with products or chemical agents)
• physical properties that determine proper gasket operation (hardness, elasticity, compression, abrasion resistance, etc.)

Gaskets used in the food industry must comply with specific standards: FDA, 3A, FCMA, BFR, M.D.; those designed for the oil industry, on the other hand, have to withstand high temperatures and chemicals.

The rubber compounds used for gaskets may be:

NATURAL, excellent mechanical properties and ideal for dynamic uses

• NR, excellent abrasion resistance and exceptional elasticity
• IR, isoprene rubber similar to NR but more resistant to atmospheric agents

SYNTHETIC

• EPDM, resistant to water, steam, atmospheric agents and many chemicals
• NBR, resistant to oils, greases, solvents, fuels
• FKM, or Viton®, fluoroelastomer, withstands extreme temperatures, aggressive chemicals, ideal for use in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry
• VMQ, Silicone, high elasticity and resistance to low and high temperatures and compatible for the food and pharmaceutical sector
• CR, Chloroprene, resistant to fire, solvents, oils and atmospheric agents
• SBR, Styrene-butadiene, good abrasion resistance and highly elastic
• IRR, Butyl rubber, low gas permeability, heat and chemical resistant, excellent vibration damping properties
• PU, polyurethane rubber, exceptional resistance to abrasion, oils and high loads
