Gaskets & Sealing Products

Gaskets and sealing products cover flange gaskets, O-rings, oil seals, hydraulic seals, gland packing, sealing tapes and sealants, sourced or cut to size for your application. We match sealing materials to the fluid, temperature and pressure involved.

What it is

Static seals (gaskets, O-rings) seal fixed joints; dynamic seals (oil seals, hydraulic seals, gland packing) seal moving shafts and rods. Material and type are chosen from rubber compounds, PTFE, graphite, fibre and metal designs.

Standard sizes are sourced from stock; special sizes are cut or machined to order.

Typical applications

  • Pipe flanges and covers
  • Pumps and valves (gland packing, mechanical seals)
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
  • Gearboxes and motors
  • Tanks and enclosures

Materials & grades

  • Rubber compounds (NBR, EPDM, FKM, silicone)
  • PTFE and expanded PTFE
  • Graphite and fibre sheets
  • Spiral wound and metal gaskets

Points to consider

  • Share media, temperature and pressure for material selection.
  • Surface finish of sealing faces affects performance.
  • Special sizes can be machined quickly without moulds.
  • Keep spares of critical seals for maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

Can you supply seals in special sizes?

Yes. Non-standard gaskets and seals are cut or machined to size.

What is gland packing?

Braided packing rings compressed around a pump or valve shaft to control leakage.

How do I choose sealing material?

By fluid compatibility, temperature and pressure; share these and we will recommend.
