Rubber gaskets for refrigerated doors play a key role in many industries, including refrigeration. Cold rooms, freezer rooms and refrigeration equipment are specific environments that require materials to maintain their properties at low temperatures. It’s in this context that rubber gaskets become an indispensable element in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the equipment.
Rubber gasket for cold room
In sub-zero temperatures, many materials become brittle and lose their elasticity. In the case of gaskets, this would mean a loss of their properties and their ability to seal effectively.
The types of elastomers used in refrigeration are specially selected to retain their properties even at very low temperatures. Due to their excellent performance, rubber seals are used in the refrigeration industry in many different areas.
- Flexibility – One of the most important characteristics of rubber is its ability to return to its original shape after deformation. In refrigeration, where temperatures in freezer equipment can reach below -20°C, maintaining elasticity is crucial for an effective seal.
- Compression resistance – A good refrigerated door gasket must be able to resist sustained compression while still providing an adequate level of sealing.
- Chemical resistance – In a refrigeration environment, seals can be exposed to all sorts of substances and factors. Resistance to these is therefore very important for the durability of the gasket.
The rubber gasket is therefore weather- and water-resistant while remaining flexible. This is why it’s fitted to cold room doors, among other things. Rubber gaskets for refrigerated doors are a key components. They form a barrier between the controlled internal environment and the changing external conditions.
