Butyl rubber gasket
The Butyl rubber gasket we offer is manufactured from a synthetic material, that is a combination of a little isoprene and isobutylene. When compared to other gasket materials available on the market, this one is less porous, which means that one of their main uses is for sealing applications and processes that involve gases, as well as compressed air. Besides ensuring that the seal is tight, a Butyl rubber gasket will also provide amazing thermal stability, and if there is a need for it to sustain external factors such as UV rays, weathering, the ozone, and aging, it is a suitable option. Keep in mind, this particular material isn’t meant for being used for applications that involve oils or fuel.
As an industry standard, the Butyl rubber gasket we manufacture has a smooth finish on both sides, and they are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, as well as colors. Depending on the option you choose the shore hardness ranges from 65º to º5, and it is capable of withstanding temperatures that go from -40ºC and all the way up to 140ºC. As mentioned, the Butyl rubber gasket is suitable for applications that require gas, compressed air, however, it’s also capable of withstanding moisture, humidity, and liquids.
We manufacture our Butyl rubber gasket with large sheets of material, mostly because this is what allows us to monitor and control how the component looks like. This is also what allows us to produce gaskets in larger sizes, without having to attach joints to them. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that we use precise and high-quality cutting tools and equipment, hence, our customers can rest assured that they will receive detailed and complex components in the size or sizes they require.
