When it comes to sealing performance, getting it right matters, not just for the efficiency of your operation, but for the safety of the people who keep it running. That’s why more businesses are now opting for non-asbestos gaskets as a modern, responsible alternative to older materials. At PTM, we work closely with customers across the UK to supply sealing solutions that not only meet rigorous technical demands but also prioritise long-term safety and compliance.
Asbestos gaskets were once widely used for their heat resistance and durability. But with the serious health concerns linked to asbestos exposure, it became clear that safer alternatives were essential. Today’s non-asbestos gaskets are engineered from compressed fibres like aramid or graphite, bonded with rubbers such as Nitrile or EPDM. These materials have proven their worth in harsh industrial settings, handling pressure, temperature, and chemicals without compromise.
What sets non-asbestos options apart is their versatility. Whether you’re maintaining pipeline integrity or managing heat exchange systems, they provide a dependable seal that lasts. And with so many grades available, we can help you pinpoint exactly the right one for your application.
At PTM, our team manufactures all our non-asbestos gaskets to ISO9001:2015 standards, using top-tier materials from trusted global brands. If you need standard gaskets, we’ve got them ready. If you need something custom, our in-house CAD/CAM cutting technology lets us shape your gasket precisely to spec, saving material and time in the process.
Switching to non-asbestos gaskets is a commitment to safety, reliability, and performance. And we’re here to make that switch as straightforward as possible. Speak to our team to explore your options on 01625 573971 or email sales@epdm.co.uk.
