Gaskets and seals have always been an integral part of Darcoid
Nor-Cal Seal. Gradually, Darcoid's die-cutting capabilities have
grown alongside technology, helping them render cutting edge
products. Darcoid has the knowledge and expertise to meet your gasket
and die-cutting needs, whatever they may be. Darcoid has manufactured
for a large variety of high volume applications for quite some time
now. The unique process for producing precision extruded and die cut
seals provides customers tremendous latitude in design flexibility,
and eliminates tooling charges for any ID/OD combination from .030"
to 19.000" outside diameters.
Darcoid's seals are made with only "sealing grade" material formulations with the highest possible percentage of polymer for the most effective long-term sealing solutions. 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.
Die cut gaskets from a variety of materials are produced on-site at Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal. Gaskets can be produced through a number of manufacturing methods such as “clicker” presses, water jet, continuous die or rotary die cutting. The methodology depends on the material, size, quantity, and other mechanical factors. We help you choose which one is best for your application. Gaskets can also be striped to narrow widths as well as PSA backed. Specialty marking is also available.
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.
