Fiber & Specialty Gasket Materials

Built for steam, heat, and high-pressure flanges.

Fiber and specialty gasket materials are the sheet gasketing built for the toughest flange duty. Compressed non-asbestos fiber, flexible graphite, cork-rubber composite, and aramid papers seal steam lines, high-temperature equipment, aggressive chemical service, and high-pressure pipe flanges where elastomers and plastics give out. Each material answers a specific combination of temperature, pressure, and media. Klingersil and Garlock compressed sheets handle steam and chemical flanges, graphite carries extreme heat and broad chemical resistance, cork-rubber recovers under bolt load for fuel and automotive covers, and conductive grades add EMI and RFI shielding to the seal.

Cannon Gasket has custom die-cut these materials in Fontana, California since 1971. We convert full sheets of compressed fiber, graphite, cork-rubber, felt, and composite gasketing to your print, holding tight tolerances with our in-house die department and precision stamping. Order one prototype or a full production run in any of the grades below, with PSA lamination, part marking, and stocking programs available. As an ISO 9001 manufacturer, we match the material to the steam, heat, chemical, or pressure rating your flange demands and ship gaskets cut to spec.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about custom gaskets.

Are you ISO 9001 certified?
Yes, ISO 9001:2015 certified. Documented quality management covers incoming material verification, in-process inspection, calibrated measurement, final inspection, non-conformance handling, corrective action, and full lot traceability. AS9100-ready for aerospace, with MIL-spec and FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 / USP Class VI grades available on request.
Can you cut custom gasket profiles?
Yes. Custom steel-rule and rotary tooling is built in-house from your drawing or DXF. Complex profiles, multiple through-cuts, tight bolt patterns, and irregular perimeters are all standard work.
Can you supply PSA-backed gaskets?
Yes. Pressure-sensitive adhesive backing is a standard option on most rubber and fiber gasketing, with either permanent or removable liners. Kiss-cut on liner and through-cut both supported on flatbed and rotary presses.
What tolerances can you hold on gasket dimensions?
Standard die-cut tolerance is ±0.010 to ±0.015 inch on OD and ID, depending on material durometer and thickness. Tighter tolerances are available on select grades and thicknesses. Ask if your drawing specifies something tighter and we will confirm feasibility during the quote.
Which gasket material is right for my application?
Start with temperature range, fluid contact, and regulatory requirements. Buna-N is the default for oil and fuel. EPDM for weather, water, and steam. Silicone for extreme temperature and FDA grades. Viton for aggressive chemicals. Our gasket material selection guide walks through the decision framework.
How fast do you return a quote?
Most RFQs come back within one business day. Simple profile updates to an existing tool quote same-day. Send a drawing, DXF, or competing part number and our engineering team reviews material, tolerance, and volume before pricing.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimums depend on the part and material. We cut prototype and first-article quantities for engineering evaluation, then scale up to production volumes from the same tooling. For high-volume programs we run JIT, VMI, and Kanban replenishment out of Fontana, California.
What should I send with an RFQ?
Ideal: a drawing or DXF, material spec (or compound family), estimated annual volume, and any regulatory callouts (FDA, USP Class VI, AS9100, MIL-spec). If you only have a sample or a part number from a competing supplier, send that and we will reverse-engineer the spec before quoting.
What are typical lead times?
Prototype and first-article parts usually ship in 5-10 business days. Production runs from existing tooling are 2-3 weeks depending on volume and material lead time. Rush and expedite options available on a case-by-case basis.
