Custom foam gaskets provide excellent sealing, cushioning, and insulation for your business across a wide range of industrial applications.
A foam gasket is a component used between joining parts to create a seal, acting as an impenetrable barrier to liquids, gases, dirt, debris, sound, and a range of temperatures, both hot and cold. Widely used in the automotive, aerospace, energy, construction, electronics, or manufacturing sectors, it is possible to develop custom foam gaskets tailored to meet the specific requirements of your application while delivering long-lasting performance.
At Polyformes, we have vast experience as foam gasket manufacturers for a range of different industries and applications. Working closely with you to develop the required design and define the correct material, we can produce custom foam gaskets in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and materials. Whether you need a single prototype or a high-volume production run, please contact us.
The benefits of foam gaskets include:
Foam gaskets are components that seal gaps between two surfaces and prevent the movement of liquids, gases, dust, noise, or heat, while also providing cushioning and protection. The specific design and types of foam used to manufacture foam gaskets vary depending on the intended use of the gasket, including the type of liquid, gas, or dust it’s required to create a barrier to, and how intricate its design is.
Foam gaskets have a wide range of uses. The automotive industry, in particular, uses foam gaskets for a variety of applications, including enabling the safe and effective movement of fluids and gases around engines and other systems, and preventing contamination of components by air, water, oil, dust, and other debris. The chemical processing and energy industries are also reliant on the high performance of foam gaskets, largely due to their chemical, impact, and heat resistance, as well as their anti-vibration properties.
Foam gasket material is typically a closed-cell polyethylene foams such as Plastazote® and Evazote®, as well as other specialist foam materials. Plastazote® is popular for the manufacture of foam gaskets due to its superb chemical resistance. Evazote® is more durable than Plastazote®, making it ideal for the construction industry, where hardwearing, long-lasting foam gaskets are often required.
Polyformes can design and manufacture custom foam rubber gaskets in virtually any shape, size, thickness, or material specification. This approach ensures optimal fit and performance while maintaining efficient performance within the intended application.
