Common Applications
Liquid-Resistant Seals & Gaskets
The most common type of gasket is to seal against the leakage of liquids. Certain rubber types offer better resistance to chemicals, others are more suited to industries involving oils, fuels and solvents.
If FDA or the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is a concern, many of our urethane and rubber materials (Redco™ EPDM, Redco™ Nitrile, Redco™ Urethanes, Redco™ Silicone) are FDA Compliant per CFR 21.177.2600 and 3A Dairy Compliant. We also have materials available that are NSF61, KTW and WRAS Approved and Metal Detectable.
Environmental Seals & Gaskets
These seals are used in enclosures to guard against dust and other environmental contaminants. Control panels, etc. require protection but also easy access to control and maintain equipment. These seals and gaskets play an integral role in ensuring equipment is running optimally.
Anti Vibration Pads & Gaskets
Anti-vibration pads are a way to absorb frequencies to reduce damage or noise caused by vibration. Anti-vibration materials are used in applications such as machinery mountings, pipe supports or structural bearings.
Mountings
Sensitive displays need protection from shock, dust, dirt, liquids, etc. In some applications, mountings are used as an electrical insulator or to absorb vibrations.
