Product Overview
An EPDM rubber gasket can be custom manufactured to match a joint where the selected compound suits the operating conditions. The shape, size, and section should follow the mating parts, with material selection based on both temperature and chemical exposure. Heat suitability depends on the formulation and service cycle.
Consider sustained operation, short temperature changes, and the conditions during cleaning or shutdown. Those stages may expose the gasket to different substances or contact temperatures. Select the hardness and thickness around the compression available in the assembly once the material requirements are established.
Install the gasket on clean, undamaged contact faces. Its outline should align naturally with locating features instead of being stretched into place. Close the joint through the intended sequence so that the rubber remains supported across the working path. During maintenance, inspect for cuts or permanent uneven compression and check the mating surfaces for the cause. A replacement should match the specified EPDM formulation and profile rather than only the general color and overall size.
- Material options
- EPDM. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Rubber: 30–90 Shore A. Select the hardness and thickness around the compression available in the assembly once the material requirements are established.
- Custom dimensions
- The shape, size, and section should follow the mating parts, with material selection based on both temperature and chemical exposure.
- Fit & assembly
- Close the joint through the intended sequence so that the rubber remains supported across the working path.
- Use & inspection
- During maintenance, inspect for cuts or permanent uneven compression and check the mating surfaces for the cause.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
