Compound Selection
Select the compound around the actual fluid, weather, temperature and service-life requirements rather than a generic rubber label.
DRAWING-BASED CUSTOM PARTS
Custom-cut rubber gaskets matched to weather, oil, water, heat and mechanical sealing requirements.
Share the fluid, temperature, joint geometry and clamp conditions with your drawing for a focused material review.

Rubber gaskets are flat elastomer profiles made from sheet stock and chosen for the operating media and environment. Unlike porous foam, solid rubber provides stronger recovery and better durability where a joint faces repeated compression, movement or handling.
Elastomer formulation can be selected around weathering, oil contact, temperature, ozone exposure and compressive recovery.
Typical values for reference only. Final material grade, tolerance and dimensional capability are confirmed after drawing review.

MATERIAL SELECTION
Use this as a starting point only; the selected grade and construction are confirmed against the drawing and application.
| Material | Key Property | Review Focus | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| EPDM Rubber | Weather and water resistance | Oil exposure is grade dependent | Outdoor covers and HVAC interfaces |
| Neoprene Rubber | Balanced industrial performance | Review fluid and weather exposure | General equipment seals |
| NBR / Nitrile Rubber | Oil resistance | Confirm actual media and temperature | Oil-contact sealing applications |
| FKM Rubber | Specialty chemical and heat use | Compound and media review required | Demanding process sealing |
PRODUCT EXAMPLES






CONVERTING OPTIONS

Adhesive Backing →DESIGN REVIEW
Practical points to include when selecting foam and preparing a drawing for review.
Select the compound around the actual fluid, weather, temperature and service-life requirements rather than a generic rubber label.
Hardness and compression response affect clamp load, recovery and extrusion resistance. Identify the available joint gap and closure condition.
Even clamp load, flange finish and bolt pattern affect the sealing path. Mark critical sealing lands and constrained areas on the drawing.
Compatibility is determined by the specific material grade, fluid concentration, temperature and exposure time.
Final suitability requires application-specific review.
Use the actual media, temperature, flange condition and closure load to narrow the material and gasket construction.
Chemical media outside the chosen polymer’s compatibility, extreme pressure joints requiring specialised flange gaskets, or solvent-swollen elastomer service.

No drawing available? Send the sealing path, flange dimensions, fluid exposure and clamp conditions for an initial feasibility review.
Selection depends on the actual media, temperature, outdoor exposure, clamp load and gasket geometry. Share those conditions for review.
Yes. Include the full bolt pattern, cutouts and any critical sealing lands on the drawing.
Mark critical dimensions and tolerances directly on the drawing, together with the flange or mating-part condition.
PSA can be reviewed for installation retention when the mating surface and service conditions are known.
Yes. Provide the fluid, temperature, exposure, closure condition and target application for a focused material review.
Individual parts, nested sheets and liner-retained formats can be reviewed around the assembly workflow.
Prototype and production routes are reviewed against the material, profile, quantity and delivery requirements.
Yes. CAD files, PDFs, dimensioned sketches and clear reference images can be reviewed for a custom quotation.
Include the drawing, material preference if known, critical dimensions, quantity and the application environment.
The manufacturing route is reviewed against the material, profile, critical requirements, quantity and delivery format rather than assumed from the part name.
