Solid Rubber

Atlantic Gasket Corporation is known for its extensive inventory of solid rubber materials and recognizes that proper product selection is critical in most applications. Generally, elastomer materials exhibit a wide range of properties achieved by variations in composition formulas and come in a measure of hardness (durometer) as soft as 30 duro. and as hard as 90 duro. and in thickness from .016” thk. up to 1”.

Each type of solid rubber material is available in a variety of grades. For a better understanding of the unique properties of each elastomer, please see our comparative elastomer chart to view the advantages and disadvantages of each material. Or for immediate assistance, please contact us at 800-229-8881 or at sales@atlanticgasket.com and allow us to show you why Atlantic Gasket has been a leading name in solid rubber since 1947.

The following is a listing of our most popular rubber materials showing the main features for each elastomer:

Neoprene Rubber offers good oil and petroleum base solvent resistance, as well as good weathering and ozone resistance.

EPDM Rubber offers excellent resistance to ozone, sunlight, oxygen, heat, and aging, as well as acids, alkali, and ketones.

Nitrile (Buna-N) Rubber offers excellent resistance to oils and solvents.

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.

Viton^® Rubber offers excellent resistance to heat, oil, and a wide range of concentrated acids.

Hypalon Rubber offers excellent resistance to ozone and sunlight aging.

Butyl Rubber offers excellent weathering properties, resists heat, acids, and alkali, plus has low gas permeability and high dielectric strength.

The above materials can be supplied in 36”, 48” and 54” wide rolls and upon request, we can slit to rolls from ½” up to 54” wide. Need a part cut to size? Allow Atlantic to use our high-speed die cutting equipments to die cut parts or gaskets to your exact requirements. These materials can also be supplied with an adhesive backing (click here to see our Adhesive Selection Guide) and we also have the capability to manufacture custom molded parts from all rubber elastomers.
