There are three methods for manufacturing rubber molded parts; transfer molding, compression molding, or injection molding. Which process method to choose depends on the size, shape, function of part, quality, and cost of raw material. The three methods share similar qualities in manufacturing of rubber parts that are important to know when designing custom molded rubber parts…
Neoprene Gaskets 101
Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber created by polymerization of chloroprene. Because of its polychloroprene factor, neoprene can resist extreme temperatures. Neoprene shows good chemical stability, high tensile strength, resilience to oil, flame resistance, and has the ability to maintain elasticity over a wide temperature range…
All About Polyethylene Gaskets
Neoprene and polyethylene are part of the same synthetic family and share similar properties. Polyethylene is a product of the polymerization of ethane, and was first used during 1898 in Germany. Polyethylene was actually produced by accident. The accident resulted in a smooth wax like substance that displayed remarkable qualities in a wide range of temperatures…
Neoprene And Polyethylene Gaskets And Their Usage
Neoprene and polyethylene gaskets have many similarities, but both of them have their own unique properties that need to be considered to function properly. Most of the time, neoprene gaskets are used for large engines, such as for airplanes, trucks, cars, and boats. We use neoprene gaskets to tackle all those situations which require sealing under high temperatures and enormous pressures…
Metallic & Semi-Metallic And Non-Metallic Gaskets
As we know gaskets are seen as the most important element in sealing systems compared to flange and bolting components. All these are very important components when sealing any system from environmental influence…
Die Cutting Versus Laser Cutting Gasket Manufacturing
Gasket manufactures have evolved over the years to provide new and improved innovations for all sorts of gaskets and seals. Die cutting gaskets is ultimately the simplest and most cost effective process manufactures offer…
