Gasket Paper Strip
Here at ASG, we offer a vast variety of high-quality non-metallic cut strips, all manufactured using products from worldwide suppliers, from whom we source the highest quality materials for use in various sealing, insulating and gasketing applications.
One such material is fibre jointing gasket paper, sometimes also called gasket paper, which is manufactured in thicknesses from 0.15mm up to 6.4mm in continuous rolls in various lengths which depend upon thickness, from which strips can be cut.
Gasket Paper strips are one of 1000’s products we are able to produce in-house, which are all made to order, manufactured using fully trained staff and one of our many machines including bandsaws, strippers, log cutters and even presses depending on the size and quantity required.
For very small strips in high quantities, a kiss-cut option may also be available for a quicker turnaround and ease of use. Gasket Paper strips are converted directly from sheets or rolls of material and can be produced in bespoke sized lengths and widths, coated in one of our many adhesives or foils.
What are Gasket Paper Strips?
Gasket paper is a cellulose fibre base, which is impregnated with a plasticised (usually gelatine) chemical treatment that is resistant to oil, petrol, air, water, alcohol, grease and most solvents.
Gasket Paper Strips are pieces of material, in this case, gasket paper often cut to a specific width, in pre-cut lengths or continuous coils as requested by our customers, often used in a similar way to a gasket placed between two surfaces to create a seal.

Why use Gasket Paper Strips?
Gasket Paper is an inexpensive gasketing material that can be used in strip form in many applications where the two mating surfaces are flat and good overall face compression can be achieved.
The compound used in the production of gasket paper makes it resistant to many liquids including oil, petrol, alcohol, grease, water and some solvent, which makes these strips perfect for use within the transport and automotive industries as seals or gaskets for fuel and oil pumps, oil pumps, thermostats and oil filters.
Benefits of using Fibre Jointing Gasket Paper
- Gasket paper strips are resistant to water, oil, air, petrol and grease
- Available in a range of thickness and roll lengths
- Easy to convert
- Can be supplied with a self-adhesive
- Gasket paper strips have excellent sealing capabilities
Advantages of using Gasket Paper Strips
Using Gasket Paper strips offer a number of advantages, not only are they a cheaper alternative to some materials but are also resistant to many fluids, oils and air making them a perfect sealing material for use within the automotive industry and within pipework and some machinery.
Gasket Paper is often the preferred material for automotive sealing strips or gasket production for parts that are no longer available.
Gasket Paper is available in a range of thicknesses and roll sizes, all of which can be further cut down and converted into gasket strips or gasket paper tapes, complete with a self-adhesive backing where required.
Fibre Jointing Gasket Paper Alternatives
There are many non-metallic materials that can be used in gasket manufacturing, each with its own unique advantages and properties for use in different applications and environments, some of the popular ones include:
Natural rubber is water-resistant and offers great shock and vibration resistance properties. This material however is not recommended for use with fuels, oils or solvents.
Silicone rubber is weather resistance, flexible and offers electrical insulating properties and performs well at extreme temperatures.
Neoprene rubber has moderate resistance to UV, Ozone, weathering as well as grease fats and oils.
Neoprene sponge can be used for sealing against dust and water and is resistant to fuel, oil and other chemicals. Neoprene sponge offers a number of insulation properties as well as meeting UL94HF-1 fire ratings.
Cork is oil and solvent resistant, which is flexible and compressible. Its impermeable, buoyant and flame retardant, the idea for oil sealing gaskets.
Compressed non-asbestos was developed as a replacement for the more dangerous material asbestos. It’s a strong material offering resistance to heat (including steam), water, gas, oil, fuels and many chemicals.
