What is the most critical factor when selecting a gasket?

Material, pressure, and temperature are crucial factors to consider. To choose the appropriate gasket for your specific application, you must clearly understand the conditions to which your production process is exposed.

What makes a good gasket material?

Gaskets must be flexible and have the appropriate properties for their specific application. Engine use cases must provide a leak-proof seal that is heat resistant. Electronics applications may need sound dampening and antistatic properties. In short, the best gasket material is the one that best suits the job.

What is the difference between a gasket and a seal?

The line between a gasket and a seal is not clearly defined, and the term is often used interchangeably. Gaskets are generally flat, two-dimensional shapes used to seal two flat surfaces. They are usually made by cutting or pressing flexible materials. On the other hand, seals are typically three-dimensional and tend to be molded or machined.

Ensuring that a package arrives with its contents intact is critical for retailers and manufacturers of all types. This is especially true in the transportation industry, where fragile parts like glass must be moved between facilities for assembly. Medical and food suppliers also need antimicrobial and temperature control solutions.
