Product Description
Our enclosure and cabinet gaskets provide reliable sealing and protection for electrical enclosures, industrial cabinets, control panels and equipment housings. Designed to seal doors, lids, covers and access panels, these gaskets help prevent the ingress of dust, moisture and environmental contaminants, protecting sensitive internal components.
We manufacture rubber enclosure seals and cabinet door gaskets in a wide range of materials, including EPDM, silicone, neoprene, nitrile and polyurethane. Available in solid rubber, sponge and foam grades, our sealing solutions offer excellent flexibility, compression recovery and environmental resistance.
Our precision cutting and fabrication capabilities enable us to produce bespoke enclosure gaskets in various shapes, sizes and profiles, including picture frame gaskets, self-adhesive seals and extruded rubber profiles.
Suitable gasket selection can help an enclosure achieve its intended ingress protection requirements, including IP54, IP65, IP66 and IP68, subject to testing and certification of the complete enclosure assembly.
Enclosure & Cabinet Gasket Materials
We manufacture enclosure gaskets using a range of rubber and foam materials, selected according to the required sealing performance and operating environment.
EPDM Rubber
Offers excellent resistance to weathering, UV, ozone and moisture, making it particularly suitable for outdoor cabinets and electrical enclosures.
Silicone Rubber
Provides excellent flexibility and temperature resistance, making it suitable for high-temperature equipment and specialist electronic housings.
Neoprene Rubber
Offers good general-purpose sealing performance, with resistance to weathering, moderate oil exposure and selected chemicals.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
Provides good resistance to petroleum-based oils, greases and fuels, making it suitable for industrial equipment exposed to these substances.
Polyurethane Foam
Provides lightweight, compressible sealing properties, making it suitable for selected cabinet doors, access panels and enclosure applications requiring a flexible foam seal.
Bespoke Enclosure & Cabinet Gasket Manufacturing
We manufacture custom enclosure gaskets and cabinet door seals for electrical equipment, industrial machinery and specialist enclosure applications.
Using precision cutting, fabrication and rubber extrusion techniques, we can supply bespoke Picture Frame Gaskets, Self-Adhesive Gaskets, Sponge Rubber Gaskets and extruded sealing profiles to suit a wide range of enclosure designs.
Our manufacturing capabilities include custom dimensions, material thicknesses, fixing holes and profile configurations to suit specific enclosure designs.
Contact our team with your technical drawing, dimensions or existing gasket sample, together with details of the operating environment and sealing requirements. We can help identify a suitable material and gasket design for your application.
Ingress Protection & Gasket Selection
Enclosure gasket performance depends on the material, profile design, compression and installation method. The correct gasket helps protect equipment against dust and water ingress while maintaining a reliable seal around doors and access panels.
Gasket selection should consider the required compression force, enclosure construction, operating temperature and exposure to UV, oils or chemicals.
IP ratings such as IP54, IP65, IP66 and IP68 apply to tested enclosure assemblies, not to individual untested gaskets. Final ingress protection performance must be verified through appropriate testing of the complete enclosure.
FAQs
EPDM is commonly used for outdoor enclosures due to its excellent weather and UV resistance. Silicone is suitable for higher temperatures, while nitrile is preferred where oil resistance is required. The best material depends on the application.
Yes. Selected solid rubber, sponge and foam materials can be supplied with self-adhesive backing for convenient installation around enclosure doors, lids and panels.
A correctly specified gasket can contribute to an enclosure achieving its intended IP rating. However, the rating must be established through testing of the complete enclosure assembly rather than the gasket alone.
