Materials Guide
A quick reference to the gasket and seal materials we stock and cut. Not sure which one fits your service? Call us — we'll walk you through it.
General-purpose chloroprene rubber. Good weather, ozone, and moderate oil resistance. A reliable workhorse for outdoor and HVAC applications.
The go-to for petroleum-based fluids, fuels, and hydraulic oils. Excellent abrasion resistance.
Outstanding water, steam, and weather resistance. The right call for outdoor service, potable water, and brake fluid — but not petroleum.
Premium fluoroelastomer for aggressive chemicals, fuels, and high heat. When nothing else holds up, Viton usually does.
Compressed sheet gasket material made from aramid fibers and rubber binders. The modern, safe replacement for legacy asbestos sheet.
Cellulose-based gasket sheet for low-pressure water, oil, and fuel applications. Cost-effective and easy to cut.
Sponge rubber that won't absorb water. Great for environmental seals, weather strips, and dust covers.
Wide temperature range and excellent flexibility at extremes. Food-grade compounds available for sanitary service.
Sponge form of silicone — same temperature range, with added cushioning and sealing under low compression.
Flexible graphite sheet for high-temperature flange service, valve packing, and steam applications. Conforms to imperfect surfaces.
Virtually universal chemical resistance. Used for aggressive chemicals, food and pharma, and high-purity service. Available virgin or filled.
Temperature ranges are general guidelines. Actual service limits depend on compound, pressure, media, and application. Always confirm with our team before specifying.
