Gasket Materials

Rubber Gasket Material

Selecting the Best Gasket Material

Gaskets are normally cut from a flat sheet material such as paper, rubber, silicone, cork, compressed sheet, neoprene, nitrile rubber, fiberglass, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), among many others.

Gaskets are cut to size with or without bolt holes in various thicknesses and materials—whatever is suitable to the media, temperature, and pressures of the application—all of which factor into material selection.

Allstate Gasket stocks hundreds of grades of gasket materials—solid, closed cell, and open-cell rubbers, non-asbestos compressed fiber, food-grade materials, PTFE, EPDM, FKM, cork and cork blends, natural gum rubber, and many more.

Our experienced application and production specialists will gladly assist you in selecting the best material for your application. Tell us what kind of custom gasket you need.
