Rubber Gaskets: Reliable Sealing Solutions from Hollinbrow
At Hollinbrow Precision Products, we specialise in manufacturing and supplying high-quality rubber gaskets for a wide range of industries and applications. Rubber gaskets are essential components used to create a tight, leak-proof seal between two surfaces, preventing the escape of fluids, gases, or contaminants. It is part of our wider gasket manufacturing range, made at our UK site and supplied across the UK and internationally.
Why Choose Rubber Gaskets?
Rubber gaskets offer excellent flexibility, compressibility, and resilience, making them ideal for sealing irregular or uneven surfaces. They can withstand a variety of pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposures, providing long-lasting sealing even in demanding environments. Whether you require gaskets for automotive, aerospace, marine, food processing, pharmaceutical, or general engineering applications, rubber gaskets are a versatile choice for meeting your sealing challenges.
Materials and Customisation
At Hollinbrow, we supply rubber gaskets in a wide selection of materials, including EPDM, Neoprene, Nitrile, Silicone, Viton®, and Natural Rubber. Each material offers distinct advantages, such as resistance to specific chemicals, oils, high or low temperatures, and environmental conditions. We work closely with our customers to recommend the best rubber material for their application, ensuring optimal sealing performance and longevity.
Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce both standard and bespoke rubber gaskets. Whether you need standard sizes or custom shapes, thicknesses, and profiles, our team can accommodate your precise requirements. We offer rapid prototyping and short lead times to support urgent and ongoing projects alike.
How We Cut Rubber Gaskets
We cut rubber gaskets from sheet to your drawing, sample or specification, using swing arm die cutting for soft and semi-rigid rubber and, where the material allows, laser cutting for intricate profiles. We can supply washers, flange gaskets and multi-hole shapes in single or multiple layers, in thicknesses to suit your joint.
Which Rubber Is Right for Your Rubber Gaskets?
- EPDM – water, steam, weathering and ozone. Not suited to mineral oils and fuels.
- Nitrile (NBR) – oils, fuels and hydraulic fluids.
- Neoprene – general-purpose sealing with moderate resistance to weather, oils and chemicals.
- Silicone – wide temperature range, and food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Viton®/FKM – high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
- Natural rubber – flexible and resilient for water and general sealing.

Rubber Materials We Supply for Rubber Gaskets
Natural Rubber Sponge
Grey Open Cell Natural Rubber Sponge
Durable and versatile, this high-density open-cell natural rubber sponge suits a wide range of demanding applications. Its robust construction lets it withstand even the harshest conditions, including those encountered during concrete transport.
Open Cell Industrial Sponge
Our open-cell industrial sponge is a high-quality, natural rubber sponge material. The open-cell structure gives this material excellent compression recovery. It also enables our industrial sponge to form a seal around uneven or complex shapes. The interconnected cell structure also allows limited absorption and circulation of gases and fluids in applications that require it.
EPDM Natural Rubber Sponge Blend
Our EPDM natural rubber sponge blend is a premium-quality, high-density, closed-cell material. It combines the excellent resistance of EPDM with the physical characteristics found in natural rubber. This results in a material that is not only highly versatile, but also highly durable. The closed-cell structure enables our EPDM and natural rubber sponge blend to create an airtight and watertight seal. This ensures that less pressure is required in order to create a seal. It also provides superior thermal insulation as well as preventing the build-up of bacteria and mould.
Orange Open Cell Sponge
Our orange open cell sponge sheets are hugely popular for packaging and transportation applications, which is why this product is also called the post office sponge. Made from high-quality natural rubber, this product offers unique features compared to standard sponge products. We can supply this product in a wide range of densities, pore structures, and sizes to suit your specific requirements.
