I was using a rubber sheet gasket, but there was a leak. When I removed the gasket to check, a part of it was torn. ■Details of the issue 〇 The rubber sheet has a low compressive strength (14.7 N/mm²), so care must be taken not to over-tighten it. 〇 If the gasket is ring-shaped or if the flange has a flat seat (in the case of RF), there is a risk of excessive surface pressure. ■Countermeasures 〇 If the flange has a full face (FF), the gasket should also be full face. 〇 If the flange has a flat seat (RF), consider whether other gaskets, such as joint sheets, can be used. 〇 Manage torque to avoid over-tightening. 〇 Set the maximum operating pressure to 1.0 MPa as a guideline.

For the stable operation of industrial machinery, lubricants and hydraulic oils are essential. However, these oils can also cause many rubber materials to swell and deteriorate. To address this fundamental issue, NBR (nitrile rubber) was developed. NBR is a synthetic rubber designed with the clear purpose of "performing well in oil environments," and it should be called a specialist. In this article, we will deeply analyze why NBR has become synonymous with oil resistance, exploring the essence of its performance through physical property data. Additionally, we will clarify its "strengths" and "weaknesses" as a specialist, and propose suitable material selection and processing solutions in collaboration with the specialized trading company Daiko. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.

In selecting waterproof sealants, cushioning materials, and packing materials, there are surprisingly few materials that meet the three elements of "water-stopping ability," "flame resistance," and "weather resistance" at a high level. The reality is that common sponges often have trade-offs, such as "stops water but is flammable" or "flame-resistant but has weak weather resistance." In response to these challenges, the chloroprene rubber (CR) sponge "Gum Sponge C-4305," manufactured by Inoac Corporation, has been chosen as a standard in the industry for many years. In this article, based on the manufacturer's official technical documentation and product characteristics, we will thoroughly explain why C-4305 has gained such trust from many engineers and designers who say, "You can rely on C-4305 for now." We will delve into the secrets of its core performance, including its "closed-cell structure" and "flame-retardant CR formulation," specific applications, and the "processing technology" that allows this material to be shaped flexibly to meet on-site needs. *For detailed content of the column, you can view it through the related links.

In manufacturing environments where "hygiene management" is the top priority, such as in food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, the selection of rubber components (gaskets, seals) used is extremely important. This is because it is not only about preventing leaks but also about ensuring safety for the human body (compliance with regulations) and significantly reducing the risk of foreign material contamination. A suitable solution to meet such stringent requirements is the "EP-5165-W" developed by Iruma River Rubber Co., Ltd. This is a special grade of white (white) EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber) that is compliant with food hygiene laws and excels in weather resistance and chemical resistance. In this article, we will thoroughly explain why EP-5165-W continues to be chosen in hygiene management settings from the perspectives of "legal compliance," "color advantages," and "basic performance," and we will introduce our solutions at Daiko Co., Ltd., which process and supply this safe material tailored to the shape of our customers' equipment, starting from just one piece. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related link.

In the manufacturing environment of products that enter the human mouth, such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, the safety of "rubber packings" and "gaskets" used in equipment is as important, if not more so, than the safety of the products themselves. If harmful substances were to leach from the rubber and contaminate the products, the trust in the company would collapse instantly. Not an ambiguous "food grade," but truly safe silicone rubber based on "solid evidence" from a public testing organization. That is the "Silicone Rubber Sheet SN-50" from Osaka Rubber Co., Ltd. In this article, we will thoroughly explain why SN-50 has gained absolute trust in the food and medical fields, based on the test report (No. 452-21-A-0055) issued by the Chemical Substance Evaluation and Research Institute (CERI), detailing its legal basis and test results. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.

In the manufacturing fields of food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, achieving a balance between "safety (compliance with the Food Sanitation Act)" and "durability (heat and chemical resistance)" is an eternal challenge. While silicone rubber and EPDM are safe and easy to use, they may not withstand high-temperature oils, certain chemicals, or high-pressure steam. This is where "Food Sanitation Act-compliant fluorine rubber IF-900," proudly offered by Iruma River Rubber Co., Ltd., comes into play. IF-900 is a high-grade product that maintains the inherent heat and oil resistance of fluorine rubber while complying with the Food Sanitation Act (Ministry of Health and Welfare Notification No. 370). In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the physical properties and resistance data of IF-900 based on the manufacturer's official catalog. We will also introduce our processing solutions at Daiko Co., Ltd. to procure this expensive material in the necessary shapes and quantities without waste. *For more detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.

The "sheet gasket," which is the most familiar sealing material on site, is widely used due to its convenience of being processed with scissors or cutters, such as joint sheets and fluororesin sheets. However, when it comes to its "thickness," are you not deciding it based on a vague feeling? In fact, the belief that "thicker is stronger and safer" for sheet gaskets is a significant misconception. On the contrary, it is not uncommon for overly thick selections of sheet gaskets to cause critical leakage problems precisely because they are sheet gaskets. In this article, we will thoroughly explain why "thin" is recommended for sheet gaskets, as well as the situations where "thick" is necessary, and the criteria for selection. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related links.

Oil leaked from the gaps in the machine, causing the line to stop." "The adjustment screw of the precision equipment became loose, resulting in unstable quality." When we delve into the causes of these serious troubles, we often find that they can be traced back to a single faulty "O-ring." O-rings are extremely important mechanical components that govern the "sealing (leak prevention)" and "operability (friction resistance)" of various machines, ranging from the aerospace industry to semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and even everyday gas appliances. Despite their simple circular shape, O-rings are designed based on advanced material chemistry and physical laws. Choosing the wrong material can lead to a loss of function in an instant, potentially putting the entire expensive equipment at risk. This article will explain the true importance of the O-ring as a component and the essential principles of "material selection" to protect machinery. *For more details on the column, please refer to the related links.

When it comes to gaskets with strong heat and chemical resistance, fluororubber (FKM) is the common knowledge in many fields. However, even fluororubber has environments that can be a 'pitfall' where it can 'degrade in a short period of time.' These are the lines of 'steam (water vapor)' and 'strong alkali.' In this article, we will explain the special grade 'IF-900-AF (Aflas/FEPM)' produced by Iruma River Rubber, which overcomes the weaknesses of conventional fluororubber and achieves long life in harsh steam and chemical lines. *For detailed content of the column, please refer to the related link.
