Silicone Housing (Face) Seals Beat Gaskets Flat

Apple Rubber offers silicone housing (face) seals that outperform flat gaskets and other gasketing methods for a wide variety of housing applications. Custom designed to your exact specifications, the silicone housing (face) seals feature a round cross-section and are molded to hold superior tolerances to die-cut, flat gaskets. Unlike flat gaskets, the round cross section of silicone housing seals ensures sealing of any potential leak paths.

Other advantages include:
  • Available in a 20-80 durometer range and can be made even softer to match compression set requirements of plastic or metal housing applications.
  • We can produce the seals in even the most complex shapes and the silicone material can be color-matched to your specifications.
  • Our experienced design engineering staff can work with you to deliver housing (face) seal prototypes with fast turnaround.
  • Our sophisticated LIM molding systems provide consistent, high quality and cost-effective housing seals essentially flash-free.
