Natural Rubber Gaskets
Natural Rubber Gaskets
Here at Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we supply gaskets in a wide range of materials including solid natural rubber. Solid natural rubber is manufactured using naturally occurring latex from rubber trees. It's strength, tear resistance, water resistance and shock absorption capabilities make it an ideal material for gaskets used in a variety of applications.
Whether we are manufacturing as a one-off or in large quantities, we work closely with our customers throughout the manufacturing process to provide a completely bespoke service. Utilizing state-of-the-art machinery and techniques such as die cutting and punching, and CNC-cutting, we produce top quality products that meet a wide range of specifications.
Solid Natural Rubber is available from us in many other forms including:

What is Solid Natural Rubber?
Solid natural rubber gaskets are manufactured using naturally occurring latex from the rubber tree. It is the result of solids suspended in a milky fluid, known as latex. The higher the proportion of natural rubber used in the compound, the higher the quality and mechanical strength of the product.
These properties make solid natural rubber a strong, durable and waterproof material. Due to its high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance, solid natural rubber is ideal to produce parts where a strong robust material resistance is required.
Why use Solid Natural Rubber Gaskets?
The purpose of a gasket is to fill gaps and irregularities between 2 surfaces and provide a solution to unwanted noise and vibrations or to seal against air, gas, dust and liquids. They can also act as a cushion between moving parts to reduce friction and therefore damage.
As solid natural rubber is ideal for use in demanding environments, it is often utilized by our customers in applications that require a tight seal that remains unaffected by impact. There are many advantages to using our solid natural rubber gaskets, including their vibration dampening, shock absorbing properties.
Different Grades of Solid Natural Rubber Gaskets
- BS1154 Natural rubber gaskets - This high-grade natural rubber has high tensile strength and is-non-abrasive. This material is available in black or white, enabling it to be used within the food and beverage production and packaging industries
- Tan Shot Blast rubber gaskets - A superior, long-lasting material with a high abrasion resistance, this material is ideal for very heavy-duty applications such as scraper blades and chute linings.
- Abrasion Resistant Natural Rubber gaskets - This high-quality natural rubber is specifically formulated and manufactured to resist abrasion and wear, it has high elasticity and is an effective seal under low compression settings. Available in black, red or white.
