Rubber Gasket and Packing Selection Guide
Deriving the optimal solution from the application! A thorough comparison of 9 types of materials, from NR, NBR, and EPDM to fluorine rubber.
From industrial machinery to plant piping and building equipment, "rubber gaskets and packing" prevent fluid leaks and fill gaps, serving as extremely important components that support the performance and safety of equipment, despite being inconspicuous. However, even when grouped under the term "rubber," the types vary widely from natural rubber (NR) to nitrile rubber (NBR) and fluorine rubber (FKM), each possessing completely different characteristics (oil resistance, weather resistance, heat resistance, chemical resistance, mechanical strength). If this selection is incorrect, it can lead to serious problems such as "rubber swelling and leaking due to oil," "cracking due to ozone," or "hardening due to heat resulting in loss of sealing capability." In this article, we will thoroughly compare and explain the characteristics of nine major types of rubber materials, providing a "selection guide" to help you choose the right product for your application. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the PDF.
