Categories of Gaskets

• Gaskets are made up of different types of
  rubbers. The size and the shape of a gasket
  depend upon the shape of the component that it is
  intended for and the application that it is to be
  used in.
• Though gaskets are customized as per these two
  factors, yet one particular gasket may be used
  for two or more components.
• Several factors go on to decide the kind of
  rubber that needs to be used for a gasket.
• The amount of wear and tear that the component
  may see, the level of usage of the component,
  tensile strength, hardness of rubber required and
  the percentage of compounds are some of the
  factors that go on to decide the kind of rubber
  that shall be used for making a gasket.
• Once the rubber is chosen as per these factors,
  the sheets of that particular type of rubber are
  then cut into gaskets of requisite shapes and
  sizes.

Rubber Variant Used for Making Gasket

• Neoprene Neoprene gaskets offer good resistance
  to ozone and weathering but moderate resistance
  to petroleum products.
• EPDM EPDM acronym for Ethylene Propylene Diene
  Monomer offers excellent resistance to grease,
  oils, ozone and weathering.
• Nit rile Nit rile gaskets offer excellent
  resistance to petroleum product and average
  resistance to wear and tear, and abrasion.
• Silicone - Silicone gaskets are used in a variety
  of uses but especially in the automotive
  industry.
• Santoprenes This is a high performance
  elastomer that offers high flexibility with low
  compression.
