Gasketting

From treatment of new gasketing material to building replacement gaskets, Loctite®/Henkel® might just be the MRO solution for you.

There are three types of flange gaskets:

Conventional pre-cut compression gaskets are made
from paper, rubber, cork, metal or other materials.*

Formed-in-Place (FIP) gaskets are applied as a liquid
sealant to one of the flange surfaces before the parts are assembled. After assembly, the FIP gasket spreads and cures between the flanges, filling gaps, scratches, and surface irregularities to provide a durable seal.*

Cured-in-Place (CIP) gaskets are applied as liquids by tracing machines that dispense the gasket material in precise beads to one of the flanges. The material is cured by ultraviolet (UV) light to form an elastomeric material with adhesion to the flange surface. Sealing is achieved through compression of the cured gasket during flange assembly.*
