Closed Cell Silicone Rubber

 

 

 

 

 

The resiliency, high temperature stability, and general inertness make closed cell silicone sponge rubber a preferred gasket and sealing material for a diverse range of industrial, mechanical, military, and commercial applications. At Atlantic Gasket Corporation, a custom gaskets manufacturer, closed cell silicone is offered in soft, medium, firm, and extra-firm densities. We also provide our customers with low compression set, flame-retardant, and fiberglass-reinforced closed cell silicone alternatives. Available in sheeting, profiles, tubing, and different colors, our silicone compounds can be customized to meet your precise requirements for seals and gaskets. Although usage is not limited to the following applications, we provide a few examples for your consideration.

 

Example Gasket Application Properties

High Temperature

Silicones can perform well in an extreme low and high temperature range from -103° F to 450° F.

Weatherproofing

This gasket material is resistant to aging and degradation from sunlight and ozone.

Automotive

Closed cell silicone is resistant to many chemicals and meets many industry flame retarding specifications.

HVAC Sealing & Mechanical Seals in Equipment Access Panels

The closed cell structure provides air and moisture barrier under ambient conditions.
