Die Cut Gaskets

Die cutting services are of great help when it comes to generate number of shapes from various textures like wood, plastic, metal etc. While giving a complete finish and proper carve to your objects, these services are highly acclaimed in number of industries. Immensely used in manufacturing units where obtaining number of products from hard core steel is really a tough task, this services makes it easy at one go. Demanded all over the world, they have bagged excellence for themselves in large.

Die cutting is also used in the making of gaskets for various purposes.
Gaskets are materials that seal between two different surfaces, under compression. The sealing is a result of the compressive forces created by sufficient bold load, and also works to fill the imperfections on the mating surfaces to be sealed. Gaskets and seals have always been an integral part of Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal. Gradually, the company's die-cutting capabilities have grown alongside technology, helping them render cutting edge products. Darcoid has the knowledge and expertise to meet your sealing needs, whatever they may be. They have manufactured for a large variety of high volume applications for quite some time now. The unique process for producing precision extruded and die cut gaskets provides customers tremendous latitude in design flexibility, and eliminates tooling charges for any ID/OD combination from .030" to 19.000" outside diameters.

Extruded and die cut products are usually supplied as ID/OD tubing type cross-sections, but can also be supplied in a variety of different cross-sections such as square, rectangular and triangular. Custom cross-sections are also available are also delivered by Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals. Temperature is possibly the most important factor in choosing a gasket material. When higher temperatures at the gasket joint need to be sealed, the potential choices are quickly eliminated. If the system operating temperatures approach a gasket materials max. continuous operating temperature threshold, the next best material should be chosen.


Chemical compatibility to the media to be sealed against (including flushes and system cleanouts). There are many different fluids and gases to seal against, and many different choices of gasket materials to seal against them. The internal pressure of the fluid should be a determining factor in choosing a gasket sealing material. If severe cycling or pressures changes occur frequently, a more robust material may be required. Application of this includes all factors such as the number, grade and size of bolts to create compression and the surface areas of the sealed joint. For EMI gaskets, this includes the amount of EMI and RFI shielding required. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal's die cut gaskets and seals offer long term sustainability, excellent wear performance, complete material traceability and easy installation.
