High-Quality Gasket Paper for Industrial & Automotive Sealing
Gasket paper is a high-performance sealing material made from impregnated vegetable fibre, engineered to provide excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and solvents. It is widely used across automotive, engineering, and industrial applications where reliable sealing and leak prevention are critical.
This versatile gasket material is easy to cut, compressible, and ideal for creating custom seals between mating surfaces.
What is Gasket Paper?
Gasket paper (also known as fibre gasket paper) is a durable sealing sheet material designed to withstand exposure to petroleum-based fluids while maintaining structural integrity under pressure.
It is commonly supplied in sheet or roll form and used to manufacture custom gaskets for engines, pumps, and machinery.
Key Features of Gasket Paper
- Excellent resistance to oil, fuel, and solvents
- Temperature resistance up to 120°C (250°F)
- Flexible and easy to cut for custom gasket shapes
- Available in thicknesses from 0.15mm to 3mm
- Supplied in 1 metre wide rolls
- High compressibility for effective sealing performance
Applications of Gasket Paper
Gasket paper is suitable for a wide range of sealing applications, including:
- Automotive Applications
