Choosing the right sealing rubber gaskets is essential for maintaining leak-free performance in any environment. The right gasket helps prevent equipment failure, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures safety across industrial, plumbing, and chemical systems. At South Eastern Gaskets, we provide reliable, high-quality sealing solutions designed to handle water, oil, and chemical applications with confidence.
Rubber Gasket Materials Available at SE Gaskets
EPDM Rubber
EPDM rubber is a versatile material for sealing rubber gaskets, offering strong resistance to UV, water, steam, acids, and alkalis. Ideal for outdoor and water-based applications, it performs well from –25 °C to 120 °C and up to 10 bar pressure.
At South Eastern Gaskets, we offer multiple EPDM variants to suit specialised needs:
• Potable Water EPDM – Certified to AS4020, this variant is ideal for sealing applications in drinking water systems, ensuring safe contact without compromising water quality.
• Peroxide-Cured EPDM – Designed for enhanced resistance to heat and UV exposure, this version offers greater stability in demanding external environments.
• White EPDM – Compliant with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, this food-grade variant is suitable for applications involving direct contact with consumables, making it a preferred choice for the food and beverage industry.
Ideal for: Water and UV exposure, potable water systems, and food-grade sealing applications.
Advanced Sealing Solutions Beyond Rubber
While EPDM suits many sealing needs, some applications require more advanced performance. South Eastern Gaskets offers specialised solutions for high-pressure, high-temperature, and chemical environments.
• Spiral-Wound & High-Temperature Gaskets – Spiral-wound gaskets use metal windings and fillers to form durable seals that handle extreme heat and pressure. Ideal for flanged joints in chemical, petrochemical, and power generation settings, they offer reliable performance where standard gaskets fall short. Some configurations withstand temperatures up to 1200 °C.
• Dieform Graphite Rings – Dieform graphite rings provide outstanding resistance to heat, oxidation, and chemicals. With low friction and high durability, they’re ideal for marine, hydraulic, aerospace, and metallurgical applications—especially in dynamic or rotating systems.
Matching Material to Application Needs
Choosing the right gasket material is not merely about durability—it is about ensuring that the gasket matches the application’s temperature, pressure, and chemical exposure. Our team at South Eastern Gaskets is committed to helping you find the best sealing rubber gaskets for your operational needs.
The following guide outlines the ideal material based on your application:
• Water Resistance → EPDM variants (standard, potable water, peroxide-cured, food-grade).
• Oil Resistance → Spiral-wound configurations or graphite where applicable (depending on oil type).
• Chemical / High-Heat → Spiral-wound, metal-reinforced gaskets, or dieform graphite rings.
Each material is carefully manufactured to ensure it performs under the specific conditions of its intended environment.
