Profiled gaskets – Extruded gaskets

Profiled gaskets and extruded gaskets are sealing components that are used to seal spaces between two surfaces and prevent leaks. Profiled gaskets are made by cutting a sealing material into a specific shape, while extruded gaskets are made by passing a sealing material through an extrusion die to create a specific shape.

Profiled gaskets and extruded gaskets are used in many industrial applications, including automotive, aerospace, construction, medical equipment, food industry, and pharmaceutical industry. They can be made from a variety of materials, such as rubber, silicone, polyurethane, PVC, Teflon, and nylon.

The advantages of profiled and extruded gaskets include their ability to adapt to various shapes and profiles, their ability to function in a wide range of temperatures and pressures, their resistance to chemicals, wear and abrasion, and their long-term durability. Profiled and extruded gaskets are also customizable to meet the specific needs of the application.

However, the disadvantages of profiled and extruded gaskets include their relatively high cost compared to other types of sealing gaskets and their vulnerability to damage caused by excessive twisting, stretching, and compression.
