When a structure is subject to fire safety requirements, gaskets and seals must also be selected with consideration for how the material behaves in the event of a fire. This may be relevant, for example, in electrical cabinets, technical enclosures, machinery, doors, and installations where the seal is part of a structure with specified fire safety requirements.
At Cabseal, we help you select materials based on the application and the fire rating or standard that needs to be met. It is the documented properties of the specific material grade that are decisive, not just the type of material itself.
CR, EPDM, PTFE, silicone and Viton®Materials for Fire-Rated Gaskets and Seals
Fire-rated gaskets and seals can be manufactured from CR, EPDM, PTFE, silicone, and Viton®. The material that can be used depends on the rating of the specific grade, as well as the requirements for temperature, medium, and environment. Therefore, we verify the material requirements against the specific application before manufacturing.
Materials We Manufacture: Fire-Rated Gaskets & Seals in
Fire-rated gaskets and seals made to drawing specifications
We can manufacture gaskets and seals based on drawings or existing samples when the design requires specific dimensions, hole patterns, or geometries.
If your design requires a specific fire rating or standard, please feel free to contact us at Cabseal. Please include the requirements specification so we can determine which material is appropriate.
