Automotive Gaskets And Seals Global Market Report 2024

Automotive gaskets and seals are crucial components employed between rotating engine parts, pumps, and shafts. They function as static seals when a union or flange requires sealing to prevent leakage. Gaskets, on the other hand, are utilized to seal connections between two components or flanges with flat surfaces. While gaskets seal connections with flat surfaces, seals are used between rotating engine parts. Both gaskets and seals offer attributes such as high flexibility, reliability, strength, and resistance to extreme heat. They are designed to withstand intense pressures, compressive loads, and temperature variations.

The primary types of automotive gaskets and seals, categorized by material, include fiber, graphite, PTFE, rubber, and silicone. Fiber gaskets and seals find prominent use in the chemical and petroleum product manufacturing industries. PTFE serves as a gasket material known for its robust chemical resistance properties. Rubber seals are widely employed to prevent leakage of air, chemicals, gases, or liquids. Silicone gaskets exhibit excellent resistance to aging, chemicals, fire, fungal growth, heat, water, and ozone. Major end-users of gaskets and seals span across industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, electronics and electrical, as well as marine and rail.
