5 common gasket types and their uses
Gasket is a product or we can say a type of seal that is used between two surfaces to prevent their friction and gaskets are also used for filling the gap between surfaces. These seals help in preventing any sort of fluid leakage. “ Rubber gasket manufacturers ” use different materials for making these seals. The most common and widely used material is silicone and rubber. Now if we talk about the difference between “extruded silicone gaskets” and rubber gaskets, silicone gaskets are preferred because of their high resistance power to temperature and heat. Rubber gaskets cannot be used under ozone, oils/greases and UV interaction whereas silicone gaskets can tolerate these changes in a better way. 1. Rubber gaskets-: Rubber is one of the most basic materials used by the “rubber gasket manufacturers”. These gaskets are mostly made up of neoprene and EPDM types of material which is known for its flexibility property. These rubber gaskets are used in aerospace, automobile indu...
