Customized shapes like rubber gaskets of special applications are rubber extrusions manufactured according to requirement and specifications. Rubber extrusion products can be anything from rubber gaskets, exhaust collars, pump discharge hoses and cabinet seals, to drain tubes, pressure switch tubing, connectors and bumpers. So whether you are using a Jacuzzi shower or simply watering the plants in the garden, you are using a rubber extrusion product.
Industrial use of rubber gaskets implies that the safety factor is foremost. Given that engines get hotter, more aggressive lubricants are being used and warranties are expected to be of longer periods, rubber gaskets are being pushed to the limits of endurance. One of the more desirable properties of an effective gasket in industrial applications for compressed fiber gasket material is the ability to withstand high compressive loads. Really experienced manufacturers like Clifton Rubber know how to manufacture rubber gaskets ...
... /strong> which are self-adhesive and can be used where the design demands it.
Where rubber gaskets which have a flexible nature are required Kammprofile gaskets are wonderful. They have a high capital cost for most applications but this is countered by long life and increased reliability. They basically work on the principle of an arrangement which allows for very high compression and an extremely tight seal along the ridges of the gasket. It is usually desirable that the gasket 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. This makes rubber a desirable material from which to fashion gaskets.
A few gaskets require an application of sealant directly to the gasket surface to function properly for which rubber extrusions are used. Rubber extrusions are used as noise-reduction sealants as well as for decorative purposes in modern architectural design which includes use of garage door seals. In fact, the aerospace industry has benefitted much from custom made rubber extrusions which are used in sealant applications. So have the railway train carriage manufacturing companies since rubber extrusions are used to trim transit train carriage interiors.
