At R4 Gaskets, we supply high-quality insertion rubber gaskets made from a blend of natural and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), reinforced with a single-ply fabric. Our gaskets, enhanced with cotton insertion, provide superior strength and prevent over-extension, making them ideal for a variety of general-purpose sealing applications. They are particularly suitable for use with water and mild chemicals, but should not be used with fuels, oils, or greases.
Key Features and Benefits
- Enhanced Strength: Our single-ply cotton reinforcement significantly increases tensile strength, ensuring durability that surpasses that of standard commercial rubber.
- General Purpose: Perfect for sealing applications involving water and mild chemicals.
- Temperature Range: Efficient performance within a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C.
- Shore Hardness: With a shore hardness of 65° ± 5°, our gaskets offer a balance of flexibility and firmness suitable for various applications.
Custom Manufacturing
Utilising our state-of-the-art CNC machinery, R4 Gaskets can manufacture standard flange, picture frame, or bespoke gaskets tailored to your exact specifications. Whether you need a single unit or a high-volume order, we deliver with precision and efficiency. For detailed instructions on measuring your gasket, please refer to our ‘How to Measure a Gasket’ guide.
Applications
- General Sealing: Ideal for applications that require sealing against water and mild chemicals.
- Industrial Use: Suitable for a range of industrial environments where enhanced tensile strength is essential.
Solid Commercial Insertion Rubber
Our solid commercial insertion rubber gaskets are reinforced with a mesh/fabric layer, enhancing their tensile strength and wear resistance. These gaskets are versatile and suitable for various applications, including low-pressure seals to prevent leakage of liquids or gas and to seal against dust and debris.
Key Features of Solid Commercial Insertion Rubber
- Durability: Mesh/fabric reinforcement enhances tensile strength and wear resistance.
- Versatility: Suitable for numerous applications, from low-pressure seals to preventing leakage and intrusion of dust and debris.
- Customisable: Available in roll form (1.4 meters wide x 10 meters long) and in thicknesses starting at 1mm. Can be laminated to other materials or coated with a self-adhesive backing.
- Polymer Blends: SBR compounds can be mixed with neoprene (CR/SBR), EPDM, and nitrile (NBR/SBR) to add additional properties, all available in insertion grade.
Applications
Solid commercial insertion rubber gaskets are widely used across various industries due to their high tensile strength and wear resistance. They can be supplied as strips, pads, or intricately cut shapes, providing a reliable seal between two surfaces.
