Mould Gasket
Gasket Moulds (correct terminology is a “joint” made from “jointing material”) is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression.
Gasket Moulds Moulds allow “less-than-perfect” mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gasket Moulds Moulds are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials.
Gasket Moulds Moulds for specific applications, such as high pressure steam systems, may containasbestos. However, due to health hazards associated with asbestos exposure, non-asbestos Gasket Moulds materials are used when practical.
It is usually desirable that the Gasket Moulds be made from a material that is to some degree yielding such that it is able to deform and tightly fills the space it is designed for, including any slight irregularities. A few Gasket Moulds Moulds require an application of sealant directly to the Gasket Moulds surface to function properly.
Rubber is a popular material for Gasket Moulds production. Since they can undergo a high degree of deformation without permanent damage or loss of attributes, rubber Gasket Moulds Moulds can form very tight seals within a wide range of applications. Some types of rubber frequently used in Gasket Moulds manufacturing include nitril, viton, and neoprene. Certain polymers, such as thermoplastic elastomer, thermoplastic rubber, and polyvinyl chloride, display qualities similar to those of rubber and are also common in Gasket Moulds production.
