What Gaskets Are Right For Your Project?

As mentioned above, we manufacture gaskets from a range of materials including rubber, PTFE, plastic, GylonTM , metal, semi-metal, Non-Asbestos Fibre (CNAF), rubber compound, and rubber bonded cork. So, you won’t struggle to find the products that you need.

 

 

When buying seals and components for your industrial needs, however, it’s vital that your supplier can support your company with the right British standard gaskets. If you know exactly what gasket materials and volumes are needed, that’s great. And we can certainly meet your gasket production needs. 

 

 

However, if you need help throughout the decision-making processes, we can deliver the expertise and information to ensure the right choice is found. We’ll discuss all key aspects from what you’re trying to seal and how many gaskets are needed to the desired dimensions, pressure ratings, temperature ratings, and more. 

 

 

Whether it’s an internal or external pipework application, our gasket manufacturing experts will guide you towards the best solution for safe and efficient sealing that can be used with chemicals, acids, and solvents for frequent and long-term use under the desired load capacities.

Why Gaskets Matter…

Given the number of components needed to operate engines or heavy machinery, it would be easy to assume that gaskets are just another standard feature, which could subsequently lead you to select the first rubber gaskets or metal gaskets available. However, gaskets work in conjunction with flanges and fasteners to create a crucial gasket system.

 

As well as creating a tight seal on the mating surfaces and withstanding environmental conditions like temperature, gaskets are responsible for controlling flange distortion, transferring heat, minimising torque loss for optimal efficiency, delivering anti-stick properties, and much more.

 

Whether the intended application is a car engine or food production, gaskets play an integral role in preventing leaks, protecting other components, and maintaining operational efficiency. For industrial machinery, it translates to increased productivity and reduced maintenance, which naturally yields a greater level of profitability. 

 

When you need machines to reach optimal power and promote a consistent performance free from material or energy waste, selecting the best gasket is vital. Munsch & Co is the perfect gasket manufacturer to make it happen.

Gaskets For All Applications

Each material has slightly different properties from sponge gaskets to corrugated metal gaskets. The gasket choice won’t only be influenced by your industry. Perhaps more significantly, it will be dictated by the type of gasket application.

 

Some of the most common options for engines are a valve cover gasket, which protects cylinder head hardware and prevents oil leaks in engines, and head gaskets to seal an engine’s combustion chamber. Other options include exhaust manifold gaskets and intake manifold gaskets.

 

The full list of gaskets won’t be limited to engines and can cover Camlock gaskets, IDF gaskets, PTFE joints sealants, spiral wound gaskets, compressor gaskets, and more.
