Rubber Gasket
                     GASKET – AN IRREPLACEABLE 
COMPONENT IN EVERY APPLICATION 
Importance of Gasket
 A gasket is a mechanical sealant that is used to 
prevent leakage of gases, vapors or any other 
liquid. 
 They are irreplaceable in the applications they 
are used in. 
 Rubber gaskets are multi use yet a much 
underrated product.
  In spite of being extremely versatile, this 
component has not got its due. 
 Right from pressure cookers to cameras, gaskets 
are used in several high usage everyday as well 
as industrial products. 
Categories of Gaskets
 Gaskets are made up of different types of rubbers. The size and the 
shape of a gasket depend upon the shape of the component that it is 
intended for and the application that it is to be used in. 
 Though gaskets are customized as per these two factors, yet one 
particular gasket may be used for two or more components. 
 Several factors go on to decide the kind of rubber that needs to be used 
for a gasket. 
 The amount of wear and tear that the component may see, the level of 
usage of the component, tensile strength, hardness of rubber required 
and the percentage of compounds are some of the factors that go on to 
decide the kind of rubber that shall be used for making a gasket. 
 Once the rubber is chosen as per these factors, the sheets of that 
particular type of rubber are then cut into gaskets of requisite shapes 
and sizes. 
Rubber Variant Used for Making 
Gasket
 Neoprene: Neoprene gaskets offer good resistance to 
ozone and weathering but moderate resistance to 
petroleum products. 
 EPDM – EPDM acronym for Ethylene Propylene Diene 
Monomer offers excellent resistance to grease, oils, 
ozone and weathering. 
 Nit rile – Nit rile gaskets offer excellent resistance to 
petroleum product and average resistance to wear 
and tear, and abrasion. 
 Silicone - Silicone gaskets are used in a variety of 
uses but especially in the automotive industry. 
 Santoprenes – This is a high performance elastomer 
that offers high flexibility with low compression.
