Rubber And Teflon Gaskets

Madras Industrial Products offers Rubber And Teflon Gaskets. Gaskets are mechanical seals that prevent leaks between separate substrate sections. They are occasionally made of metal because they must be durable enough to withstand extreme pressures and wear. (In fact, the phrase "blowing one's gasket" refers to the unwanted result that occurs when pressure builds up too much and a gasket ruptures or fails in some way.) However, many gaskets, such as o-rings, can be made out of synthetic rubbers or silicone. These thick rubbers are robust enough to handle the kinds of extreme pressure and wear associated with gasket applications. Teflon Gaskets: Teflon gaskets and Teflon based gaskets are able to withstand aggressive chemical environments. Microcellular or expanded Teflon gaskets are ideal for glass lined applications. There are many styles an variations below we have listed a few contained in their inventory.

Gaskets are used in a wide variety of applications in a diverse range of environments, so factors like those listed above must be accounted for. Gasket types include o-rings, which are the most common type of gasket made of synthetic rubber, and account for a large portion of rubber gasket use. However, many other basic gasket seals are made out of rubber for commercial and industrial use on pipes, wood, and other applications. These gaskets can perform well with other rubber materials, various kinds of metal and even wood. Sealant must be incorporated to ensure a solid seal.
