Rubber Gaskets - URM
Essential and durable

Gaskets are essential sealing components designed to fill the space between mating surfaces, compensating for surface irregularities and preventing leakage under compression. They provide airtight and watertight sealing, protecting assemblies from dust, moisture, chemicals, and contaminants, while retaining internal fluids, gases, or solids.

Why Choose URM for Gasket Manufacturing

  • Custom-engineered solutions tailored to customer specifications
  • Extensive range of rubber and silicone compounds
  • Precision die-cut and waterjet-cut manufacturing
  • Tight tolerances with consistent, high-quality results
  • Capable of handling both prototypes and high-volume production

All rubber gaskets are available in thicknesses ranging from 0.02” (0.5 mm) up to 1” (25.4 mm) and can be supplied in continuous rolls, sheets, or custom-cut parts, depending on application and production needs. Our silicone gaskets deliver excellent resistance to temperature extremes, UV exposure, ozone, and environmental aging, making them ideal for long-term sealing performance in critical applications.

Nitrile Rubber Gaskets (NBR)

Nitrile rubber gaskets are specifically formulated for applications involving oils, fuels, greases, fats, and other hydrocarbon-based fluids. Thanks to their excellent resistance to petroleum products, NBR gaskets are widely used in automotive, fluid-handling, and industrial machinery applications.

Depending on the selected compound, nitrile gaskets can operate within a temperature range of –40 °C to +100 °C, offering an optimal balance of flexibility, abrasion resistance, and sealing performance. URM manufactures both standard and fully custom nitrile gaskets to meet precise dimensional, mechanical, and chemical-resistance requirements.

Chloroprene Gaskets (Neoprene®)

Chloroprene gaskets provide a versatile sealing solution with excellent resistance to weathering, ozone, UV exposure, and moderate chemical attack. They also offer good mechanical strength and elasticity, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.

URM is a leading manufacturer of chloroprene gaskets, seals, and washers for a wide range of industries. Whether producing a single prototype or high-volume production runs, we ensure precision cutting to tight tolerances, consistent quality, and fast turnaround times. Our neoprene solutions are ideal for applications requiring durability, flexibility, and long-term environmental resistance.

Cellular Rubber Gaskets

Cellular rubber gaskets are manufactured from closed-cell expanded rubber, offering excellent compressibility and sealing performance while maintaining low water absorption. The closed-cell structure prevents fluid ingress and provides superior recovery after compression.

Compared to polyethylene foam, cellular rubber exhibits a lower compression set, reducing permanent deformation and extending service life. These gaskets are ideal for applications requiring vibration damping, acoustic insulation, and effective sealing at relatively low clamping forces.
