Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are drum closure gaskets typically made of?
Drum closure gaskets are most commonly made from materials like nitrile rubber, EPDM rubber, silicone rubber, or PTFE. The material used depends on the contents of the drum and the temperatures and chemicals the gasket will be exposed to. Nitrile rubber is oil resistant while EPDM is heat and chemical resistant. Silicone provides stability across a wide temperature range. PTFE is compatible with nearly all chemicals.
What types of closure systems do drum closure gaskets work with?
Drum closure gaskets work with many different drum closure designs including bolt-on lids, lug-style covers, clamp-on rings, and lever-lock closures. They provide a tight seal between the drum and lid to prevent leaks. Common types of drum gaskets include round disc gaskets, O-ring gaskets, flange gaskets, and specialty multi-part gaskets. The gasket style matches the drum lid design.
Can drum closure gaskets be customized?
Yes, drum closure gaskets can be customized to match the specific dimensions and design of an individual drum lid and closure system. Custom options include unique shapes, diameters, thicknesses, durometers, and materials to meet specialized performance requirements. Customization ensures an optimal drum sealing solution.
