Solid metal gaskets

All types of solid and expanded metal gasket materials are used to produce items from simple flat washers and shims to specialized lens rings and grooved profiles. These can also be supplied with flexible sealing materials bonded or vulcanized to the surface where required to give more seal-able surfaces (especially useful on damaged flange faces). Special expanded rubber faced metals are produced (mostly for automotive applications) that exhibit high sealing properties at extended temperatures. These materials are particularly suited to high temperature operating conditions where parts need to meet exacting tolerances and guaranteed working lives.
