Silicone gasket Washer Gasket

roundwith circular cross sectionfor molding

Description
Step molding is carried out on a special C-frame compression molding machine to produce small cross-section parts in moderate lengths and longer items in step cycles. The process enables continuous joining to deliver endless, one-piece gaskets adapted for washer applications.

Features

• Continuous joining produces one-piece endless gaskets without the need for oversized dies.
• Lower rejection rates for short running lengths compared with extrusion.
• Accurate maintenance of sharp profiles and cross-sections.
• Suitable for step-cycle production of moderate to long lengths.

Typical product forms

• Large-size BSF (Both Side Flat) washer gaskets.
• Rectangular strips and square cross-section gaskets.
• O-ring cord and large O-rings.
• Endless gaskets for sealing and cushioning applications.

Technical specifications

• Manufacturing: Step molding on compression molding machines (special C-frame type).
• Joining: Continuous joining process for endless/one-piece production.
• Advantages: No need for large dies, reduced scrap versus extrusion, precise profile control.
• Materials: Compatible with common elastomers (rubber, silicone, NBR, EPDM) depending on customer requirements.
