  2. Industries require a lot of products to meet their requirements. There is a huge list of tiny products without which things would come to standstill. A few of them are molded products. When you talk about molded rubber products, gaskets and seals would come to the mind. They may seem to be similar but the truth is that they are little different from each other. The main difference between gaskets and seals is that while you use a gasket to seal components that have a flat surface while seals are meant for surfaces that rotate like engine parts, shafts and pumps. Gaskets are for components that are static whereas seals are for parts that rotate.

  3. Also, seals are round and flat whereas gaskets come in different shapes. Gaskets are used in transportation, electricity generation, oil and gas and paper and pulp industry. Though gaskets and seals may look like ordinary products, they are very important. Just imagine how your vehicles would run when there are no seals for the engine to function. The whole automobile industry would come to a standstill without seals. This indicates that no matter how insignificant a product looks; at times you can’t do without it. There are other molded rubber products as well and they aretiming belt and O Rings.
