How to Submit a Request for a Quote?
At Rubber-Cal, we can fabricate gaskets out of our sheet rubber goods in almost any shape or dimension. The different types of fabrication options available are: hand cutting, die cutting, laser cutting, and water jet cutting. Depending on the size and scope of the project, we will offer pricing based on one or more of the above methods. We can offer a custom quote detailing the costs of the project within 1-5 business days, depending on the complexity of the rubber gasketing job.

Please fill out the form below and give us as many details about your gasket as possible. Please provide us with all the relevant information about:
1-Item’s dimensions, such as the width, length, thickness.
2-Let us know the quantity that is required.
3-Tell us the rubber compound that is needed and it durometer.
4-If you are unsure about the rubber type, tell us more about where the rubber will be used and what type of materials, chemicals, or temperatures it will come into contact with.
5-If the rubber gaskets are not intended to be simple geometrical shapes (circle, square, or rectangle) then please give us details about the shape of the product. If your desired product is irregularly shaped, it is always best to send us a drawing of the subject. The form below has a section where you can upload an image of your drawing. If you prefer, you can also email your request direct to customer service at customercare@rubbercal.com.

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff during regular business hours at 1-800-370-9152, Monday to Friday 6:00am – 6:00pm PST. We are here to help launch your projects.

Custom Gaskets with Rubber Feet, Pads, Bumpers, Flat Gaskets, Rings

1. Types of Rubber Gaskets and Fabricated Parts

It is hard to find machines or equipment today that lack rubber gaskets. The prevalent use of rubber gasketing speaks to how usefulness and effectiveness of rubber parts. Rubber parts across many industries are used to protect one or two hard parts from one another. For example, a gasket does just that in machinery, rubber feet protect equipment and the floors from one another, a large weight room rubber mat protects barbels and the floor surface from one another. Rubber is a simple product that should be considered a wear part. It is supple, elastic and resilient. If you did want something that is not soft and shock absorbing, then you would not be looking for an elastomer. A rubber seal or protective membrane is less expensive, more durable, and more versatile than ones made of other materials. There are also a variety of different types of rubber compounds available. We stock natural, recycled and synthetic rubbers so that we can make the ideal custom rubber gasket or part for your application. Synthetic rubbers make for great seals and gaskets because a lot of industrial applications see harsh and abrasive conditions. Our rubber gaskets are manufactured using a custom cut process, with each product cut from a rubber sheet to meet a specific order and design. The type of rubber material used to create our rubber gasketing depends entirely on the project in question.

1(a). Natural Rubber
Rubber gaskets and fabricated rubber parts made of natural rubber are generally very flexible. Natural rubber is supple and flexible and has low compression set allowing it to keep its form even under extreme weight or pressure. This is ideal for the production of parts that are under heavy physical scrutiny and are put under heavy machines or other equipment. Additionally, natural rubber has a high coefficient of friction allowing it to retain its grip even when coming into contact with moisture. This will allow gaskets made of natural rubber to keep its grip on the two surfaces it is protecting to prevent accidental slippage that may cause damage to industrial machines or floors.

1(b). Recycled Rubber
Rubber gaskets made from the recycled rubber variety are extremely durable products that will perform well in highly abrasive conditions. Made out of used or discarded vehicle tires, recycled rubber will reflect the same durability in products made from this rubber variation. They are valued for their superior abrasion resistance and excellent durability when faced with UV light, ozone and moisture. Additionally, like the vehicle tires they are made from, recycled rubber products exhibit excellent life when they are used in highly abrasive environments. Recycled rubber products are also far less expensive and ideal for applications that will damage the rubber wear part and lessen its lifecycle.

1(c). Synthetic Rubber
Synthetic rubbers include EPDMs, Neoprenes, Silicones, Nitriles, Santoprene, and many more compounds. Compared to natural rubber and its variations, synthetic rubbers offer more resistance in abrasive or industrial conditions including exposure to oils, chemicals, and high temperatures. Different types of synthetic elastomers offer different qualities and capabilities, which is why we ask for the potential use of your rubber gaskets before manufacturing them for you. Some rubber types offer a higher working temperature, which is perfect for high-industrial settings, while others have a high level of oil and grease resistance. For instance, EPDM is most often used for applications which will have a lot of outdoor exposure or exposure to chemicals, such as a rubber seal on a car. This is because EPDM performs well in the face of outdoor elements, such as moisture or UV rays, as well as in areas where chemicals are being used or stored. Industrial gaskets made of synthetic rubber are an affordable means to protecting expensive parts.
