Vulcanized Gaskets

Elplasto Innovations – Your Supplier for Custom Vulcanized Gaskets:

Elplasto Innovations is a trusted supplier of custom gaskets, offering a diverse selection of shapes and types. We specialize in providing vulcanized gaskets that are tailored to meet precise application requirements.
Vulcanized gaskets are specialized sealing components created through a vulcanization process. Vulcanization involves subjecting gasket materials, to a combination of heat and pressure and joining the ends together. This process chemically alters the material, creating a highly durable and resilient gasket structure. Vulcanized gaskets are known for their enhanced physical properties, including increased strength, flexibility, resistance to chemicals, and the ability to withstand varying temperatures and pressures. These gaskets are commonly used for creating secure and reliable seals in a wide range of applications.

We ensure that the materials used are compounded to meet the specific needs and performance criteria of our customers.

Shapes of Vulcanized Gaskets Offered by Elplasto Innovations: At Elplasto Innovations, we offer vulcanized gaskets in a variety of shapes, including but not limited to:

1. Cords: Round or square cross-section gaskets commonly used in sealing applications where flexibility and compression are required.
2. Tubings: Circular or custom-shaped gaskets used as flexible sealing elements, especially in fluid or gas applications.
3. Hollow Rectangle shaped: Gaskets with a rectangular cross-section and an empty interior, suitable for sealing irregular or uneven surfaces.
4. C Type: C-shaped gaskets with a curved profile, often used for sealing circular or semi-circular channels.
5. P Type: P-shaped gaskets with a protruding profile for enhanced sealing capabilities.
6. U Type: U-shaped gaskets with a concave profile, ideal for sealing channels or grooves.
7. Custom Extruded Extrusions: We can create gaskets with unique and custom shapes to precisely match the requirements of your applications.

Material and compounding: Our Extrusions are carefully selected and compounded based on the specific needs of our customers, ensuring that the Extrusions offer excellent durability, chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and flexibility for their intended applications.

• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Excellent weather resistance and UV stability; commonly used for outdoor applications.
• FKM (Fluoroelastomer): Superior chemical resistance, high-temperature resistance, and chemical compatibility.
• Silicone: Excellent high and low-temperature resistance, electrical insulation properties, and food-grade options available.
• Nitrile (NBR): Good oil and fuel resistance; used in automotive and industrial sealing applications.
• Neoprene (CR): Excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, and durability; used in marine and construction applications.
