Rubber Gaskets
Rubbertech have been a Rubber Gaskets manufacturer more than 20 years, supplying into the marine, electronics & medical industries.
Rubber gasket is the description given to a rubber moulding used to prevent the passage of fluid, gas or liquid by forming a seal against two static faces. These mouldings can be designed and manufactured to achieve specific IP seal ratings, as an experienced manufacturer we can assist with the seal design to help obtain these ratings.
Rubber Gaskets can be produced in many materials depending on the environment and end use that is specified by our customer. Although Rubbertech are primarily a silicone moulding company we will manufacture in other rubber materials if the product demands such as Neoprene, Nitriles, EPDM and Fluorosilicone.
Our capabilities mean that we can supply a rubber seal in medical approved, flame retardant, conductive, steam irradiation resistant and RF screening materials. If a rubber seal is required as an assembly to metal or specific plastics including PTFE then we also have experience of this.
A silicone rubber gasket can be colour matched easily, however if other materials are used such as Neoprene and Nitrile then colour matching is more difficult.
Rubber gaskets can be produced by extrusion methods, punched from sheet if the profile is flat, moulded by compression or injection methods. All of these methods require tooling and this can range from low cost for punch tools to higher costs for the moulding compression or injection tools. The best method is ultimately decided by the design of the part and the estimated quantities required.
Rubbertech have excellent relationships with material suppliers and excellent toolmakers, this enables us to offer excellent service, value and flexibility to our customers for both small and large enquiries. |
