What are natural rubber gasket sheets
Natural rubber gasket sheets are sealing materials made from NR (natural rubber), known for their high elasticity, resilience and mechanical strength. These sheets are used in applications that require excellent flexibility, shock absorption and wear resistance under low to moderate temperatures.
Natural rubber gasket material is suitable for static sealing tasks where oil resistance is not critical. It offers good performance in air, water and non-aggressive media, making it a common choice for general-purpose gaskets.
When to use natural rubber gasket material
You use natural rubber gasket material when a soft, elastic sealing surface is needed — for example, in low-pressure systems or dynamic joints that require repeated compression. It is particularly useful in applications involving vibration damping or cushioning.
NR gasket sheets are not suitable for environments with oil, solvents, ozone or UV exposure. They are best applied in controlled indoor environments or in contact with neutral fluids.
Applications of natural rubber gasket material
Natural rubber gasket sheets are used in pipe sealing, non-oil flanges, dust covers, and anti-vibration pads. They are common in the agricultural sector, mechanical maintenance and low-tech industrial systems.
NR gasket sheets can be die-cut or waterjet cut into custom shapes for sealing surfaces that benefit from the material’s inherent softness and elasticity.
