GEN2 Select-A-Seal® Rubber-Edged Composite Gasket

Perimeter Sealing Technology for Corrosion Mitigation

Adhesion + Compression = Superior Sealing Performance

Our composite sealing solutions for heavy duty agriculture and construction vehicles are engineered to stop corrosion from the perimeter of the application.

The innovative rubber edge prevents salt ingress, moisture, and contaminants from penetrating the barrier with protection that withstands environmental impact for up to 15 years.

Features and Benefits

  • Warranty Performance
  • Serviceability
  • Lowest “load to seal” technology
  • Engineering Design
  • Manufacturing Cost
  • Environmentally Clean
  • Corrosion Mitigation

The Science Behind the Seal

GEN2 Select-A-Seal is engineered with Rubber Edge Construction (REC), a perimeter polymer edge specifically designed for demanding environmental applications.

Industry Challenges:

  • Flanges will corrode due to saltwater exposure
  • Traditional solutions including REM, RCM, Liquid, Foam and O-Rings can allow water migration.

Solution:

Perimeter Select-A-Seal polymer prevents moisture ingress and helps to eliminate corrosion migration.
