What Is The Role Of Rubber Gaskets?

May 31, 2021

Rubber gaskets The sheet-shaped rubber products that seal between the two static surfaces of the metal flange or other connecting parts are collectively referred to as rubber gaskets. It can be manufactured by molding method or punched by vulcanized film. It can be widely used in all kinds of mechanical equipment, playing the role of gasket, sealing, cushioning, etc.


    Commonly used rubber washers are: rubber flat washers, rubber O-rings, plastic flat washers, PTFE-covered washers, asbestos rubber washers, metal flat washers, metal special-shaped washers, metal wrap washers, wave washers, winding washers, etc


    Rubber gaskets have the properties of oil resistance, acid and alkali resistance, cold and heat resistance, and aging resistance. They can be directly cut into sealing gaskets of various shapes. They are widely used in medicine, electronics, chemical, antistatic, flame retardant, food and other industries.


    Rubber flat washer: It is easy to deform and does not require effort when pressing, but it has poor pressure and temperature resistance. It is only used in places where the pressure is low and the temperature is not high. Natural rubber has certain acid and alkali resistance, and the use temperature should not exceed 60°C; chloroprene rubber can also be resistant to certain acids and alkalis, and the use temperature is 80°C; nitrile rubber is oil-resistant and can be used up to 80°C; fluororubber has good corrosion resistance and resistance The temperature performance is also stronger than that of general rubber, and it can be used in 150℃ medium.
