Durable, Long Lasting Vulcanised Fibre Gaskets

RH Nuttall Limited manufactures a wide range of vulcanised fibre gaskets. Being tougher than soft metals and lighter, too, vulcanised fibre makes the ideal gasket material. With a high tensile and mechanical strength, brilliant resistance to heat transfer, and with an easily mouldable format, vulcanised fibre gaskets are suitable for a range of real world manufacturing applications.

Predominantly RH Nuttal Ltd vulcanised fibre gaskets are used to create tighter seals when using nuts and bolts. Since these are chemically resistant and rubberised, they make an excellent seal reinforcers for the petrochemical industry.

State of the Art Gasket Production Technology

Over the past few years, RH Nuttall Limited have invested heavily in new, state of the art, automated machinery. This allows us to produce fibre gaskets for a vast range of different industries.

Vulcanised fibre was one of the first plastics ever made. It has a toughness similar to leather, harder than a thermoplastic, and uses long fibres to generate mechanical properties. There are different grades of vulcanised fibre, such as electrical grade and wood grade, said to be the toughest yet.

What are Vulcanised Fibre Gaskets used for?

Vulcanised fibres themselves may be known as “red gaskets” or “red fibres,” whose rigidity makes them suitable for a number of uses. Industries which order vulcanized fibre gaskets include construction, glazing, fastening, and automotive trades.

Uses of vulcanised fibre include:

  • Supporting material in skateboards, skis, and other sporting equipment
  • Car parts may use vulcanised fibre
  • Suitcases may be reinforced with it
  • Chemical production, due to its high chemical resistance
  • Petrol production/petrochemical seals
  • Strengthening wooden flooring and veneers
  • Aviation control systems
  • And even business equipment
