Improve System Reliability and Lifetime with Gaskets and O-Rings

Gaskets and O-Rings are primarily static seals used to prevent leaks or provide cushion between two opposing surfaces compressed together. O-Rings and Gaskets fill space between mating substrates, compensate for surface irregularities, and can be placed within a groove or cavity to help contain the seal for consistent placement.

Gasket and O-Ring seals are typically constructed from engineered elastomeric materials with custom designed compression force deflection, hardness, compression set resistance and other performance factors. These material characteristics are custom selected enable the seal to conform to less than perfect mating surface finishes or create a pliable, elastic layer between two hard substrates.

Surface irregularities provide leakage paths while friction between two hard substrates creates excessive surface wear and contamination from surface grinding. Boyd’s gasket and o-ring solutions complement rigid substrates and compensate for surface irregularities helping to reduce wear and tear, protect against ingress damage, and prevent contamination from grinding surfaces.

Gaskets and O-Rings are generally cost effective solutions and used in most applications. These seals are often constructed of die cut or converted elastomeric sheet materials laminated with pressure sensitive adhesive or polymers molded to specific requirements.

Boyd’s extensive material expertise, product and process design experience, and wide diversity of precision manufacturing methodologies enable us to create reliable and cost-effective custom seals featuring optimal raw material performance characteristics, optimally configured to best fit and perform in your assembly, and fabricated using the most cost effective manufacturing methodologies possible.
