| Most original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) prefer rubber materials for their gaskets due to rubber's
innate flexibility, pliability, and conformability. Atlantic Gasket
Corporation, an industry leading gasket manufacturing company, offers
a spectrum of rubber grades to produce custom rubber die cut gaskets
that not only meet but often exceed customer's requirements. At
Atlantic Gasket, most rubber grades are available as thin as .016"
thk. to .250" thk. We provide materials in continuous rolls
or cut-to-size for your specific applications. Most rubber grades
come in a measure of hardness (durometer) as soft as 30 duro. and
as hard as 90 duro.
See our comparative
elastomer chart for detailed information on the many advantages
and disadvantages of various rubber elastomers. This chart will
help you compare elastomers and determine which material is most
suitable for your application. Read on for Atlantic Gasket's available
rubber grades.
Silicone
Rubber offers excellent properties for both hot and cold temperature
extremes. In addition, silicone rubber takes a low compression set
and is resistant to UV, ozone, and fungus.
