Gaskets & Seals

Gaskets are mechanical seals designed to fill the space between two substrates, allowing imperfect surfaces to be joined together with more forgiving tolerance for surface irregularities. Often these gaskets are designed to prevent liquid, dust, debris, air, gas, EMI, light, chemicals or other items from entering or exiting a device and can tolerate a specific amount of force and compression.

A gasket or mechanical seal is generally made from a semi-resilient, conformable gasket material that can have a number of highly specialized customizations. Boyd has decades of experience and specialization in selecting best gasket material and gasket design for applications like an intake gasket, oil pan gasket, exhaust gasket, manifold gasket, enclosure door gasket or closed cell foam pad as well as vibration dampers, various mechanical seals and rubber grommets.
