Soft Cut Gaskets for Reliable Sealing Across Industries

Gaskets
Soft cut gaskets are a vital component in achieving secure, leak-free connections across a wide range of applications. At Henry Gallacher, we supply a comprehensive selection of soft cut gaskets that combine durability, flexibility, and precision, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding industrial, commercial, and consumer environments.
Our gaskets are widely used in sectors such as manufacturing, engineering, processing, and maintenance, helping businesses and individuals protect equipment, prevent leaks, and maintain operational efficiency. We manufacture a variety of standard and bespoke gasket types, including flange gaskets for DIN (European), BS10 (British and Australian), and ANSI B16.5 (USA) standards, inner bolt circle (IBC) gaskets, picture frame and dovetail gaskets, as well as custom shapes from semi-finished materials based on your drawings or samples.
Our most common conversion materials include rubber and sponge sheeting, Klinger® compressed fibre, and expanded PTFE. We also offer FDA-approved and metal-detectable grades, ideal for food, drink, and pharmaceutical applications where hygiene and detectability are essential. Specialist gaskets and seals for high-temperature, high-pressure applications are available upon request.
Utilising advanced CNC profile cutting technology, we can handle both low- and high-volume orders. Our services include same-day manufacture for urgent needs, ongoing contract orders, and single one-off gaskets. For guidance on material selection, please see our ‘Gasket Materials Available’ section or consult our gasket materials selection guide. Alternatively, our technical sales team is available to help you choose the right gasket for your application.

GYLON® Gasket Materials
GYLON® Gaskets

GYLON® gasket materials  are a family of PTFE-based materials incorporating a range of fillers. These fillers help increase tensile strength and reduce creep relaxation, a problem prevalent in pure PTFE sealing materials. The PTFE base of GYLON® gasket materials provides excellent chemical resistance and is designed to offer sealing solutions for various industrial applications.
