Rubber gasket adhesive
Rubber gasket adhesive can hold a gasket in position or form part of a bonded joint, depending on the assembly. Establish the adhesive’s role before selecting it. An adhesive used only to assist installation should not be assumed to provide the pressure seal or carry the joint’s structural load.
Choose a system compatible with both the rubber and the mating surface. Surface contamination, coatings and release agents can affect adhesion. Follow the selected adhesive’s preparation, application and curing requirements, and assess the bond on the actual materials rather than on a substitute surface.
The appropriate coverage and bond-line thickness depend on the adhesive and joint design; there is no universal percentage that guarantees a lasting bond. Consider temperature, fluids, peel forces and movement after assembly. Keep adhesive away from passages or sealing faces where excess material could interfere with the gasket’s function.
