Gaskets and seals are used in a wide variety of industries, where they play a crucial role in providing a seal against liquids, gases, dust, and other media. For a seal to function effectively over time, it must be designed for the specific environment in which it will be used. Temperature, pressure, chemicals, and mechanical stress are some of the factors that influence the selection process.
At Cabseal, we help companies choose the right gaskets and seals based on the specific application. We take into account the medium to be sealed, the temperatures and pressures the product must withstand, and whether there are any special requirements—such as chemical resistance or various certifications. This allows us to recommend a solution that works both technically and in the long term.

Here's how we'll help you make the right choice
Choosing the right gasket or seal involves much more than just finding the right dimensions. The material must be suited to the operating pressure, temperature, the medium to be sealed, and the loads the component will be subjected to during operation. For example, a gasket that works perfectly in a water system may be unsuitable for an application where it is exposed to hydraulic oil, high temperatures, or aggressive chemicals.
Materials tailored to different requirements
We work with a wide range of materials, including EPDM, NBR, CR, SBR, silicone, PTFE, fiber, Viton®, cork, and cellular rubber. These materials have different properties and are therefore used in various types of applications. For example, NBR is a common choice when the gasket comes into contact with oils and hydraulic fluids, while PTFE is often used where high chemical resistance is required. EPDM is well-suited for environments where the gasket is exposed to water, steam, or the elements.
Depending on the application, we can also assist with materials that meet specific requirements, such as FDA-approved materials for the food industry, fire-rated materials, ozone-resistant rubber grades, or solutions with high compression resistance. We’ll help you choose the right material based on the technical requirements specific to your business.
Manufacturing based on drawings or samples
If you need gaskets or seals manufactured according to a drawing or an existing sample, we’re happy to help as long as you provide the necessary specifications. Thanks to our large inventory of materials and a variety of manufacturing methods, we can often offer short lead times.
