Gaskets

We offer a specialist gasket cutting service to a customer's requirements whether it is a one-off or a thousand off. This service is offered at both our Norwich and Ipswich Branches. The maximum size of our cutting bed is 1600mm x 800mm so we can cope with large items or multiple knives to reduce the part cost.

The different gasket materials are listed below, all are available in a range of thicknesses in sheet or roll form to suit your requirements

Black Neoprene

Low cost material suitable for minor mechanical demands

  • Hardness 60-65 Shore
  • Temperature -10C to +70C
  • Moderate resistance to ozone
  • Moderate resistance to weathering

EPDM

A good material where a high resistance to the elements or wet conditions are required

  • Hardness 70 Shore
  • Temperature -20C to +100C
  • Excellent ozone resistance
  • Excellent resistance to weathering

Nitrile

A good material where oils, benzene or acids are involved

  • Hardness 70 shore
  • Temperature -20 to +80C
  • Good Resistance to Oil
  • Good resistance to benzene (also suitable for unleaded fuels)
  • Moderately resistant to acids
  • Resistant to strong bases

Tan Shotblast

Good where abrasion occurs and high elasticity is required

  • Hardness 40 Shore
  • Temperature -40C to +70C
  • Moderately resistant to acid
