What are HDPE gaskets
HDPE gaskets are flat sealing components manufactured from high density polyethylene. These gaskets are used to create a reliable seal between two surfaces while maintaining dimensional stability under mechanical load. HDPE gaskets are typically applied in situations where moisture resistance and chemical stability are required.
Are HDPE gaskets plastic?
Yes, HDPE gaskets are plastic gaskets made from high density polyethylene. HDPE is a thermoplastic material known for its low moisture absorption, good chemical resistance and consistent performance in contact applications.
Applications of HDPE gaskets
HDPE gaskets are commonly used as sealing elements in industrial assemblies, flanged connections and protective interfaces. Due to the material properties of high density polyethylene, these gaskets are suitable for applications where flexibility is less critical than durability, resistance to moisture and long service life.
