Product Focus: Range of Non-Metallic Seals, Gaskets and Shims Manufactured by Bluemay Weston


Precision-Cut Non-Metallic Seals, Gaskets and Shims for Industrial Applications

At Bluemay Weston, we manufacture a comprehensive range of high-quality non-metallic seals, gaskets and shims for customers across the aerospace, automotive, electrical, engineering, defence, marine, construction and industrial sectors. Using advanced punching, pressing and water jet cutting technology, we can produce both standard and bespoke sealing components to meet exact customer specifications.

Our expertise allows us to manufacture seals, gaskets and shims from a wide variety of non-metallic materials, each selected to provide specific performance characteristics such as chemical resistance, electrical insulation, thermal protection, vibration damping or environmental sealing.

Whether you require small production runs, prototypes or high-volume manufacturing, our experienced team can provide a cost-effective solution tailored to your application.


Insulating Seals, Gaskets and Shims for Electrical, Thermal and Vibration Protection

Insulating seals, gaskets and shims are widely used where electrical isolation, thermal insulation or vibration reduction is required. These components help prevent the transfer of heat, electricity and mechanical vibration between adjoining parts, improving performance and extending service life.

Common applications include:

  • Electrical switchgear and control panels
  • Transformers and power distribution equipment
  • Automotive electrical systems
  • Aerospace assemblies
  • Industrial machinery

We manufacture insulating seals, gaskets and shims from a variety of specialist materials including vulcanised fibre, Nomex®, engineering plastics and other high-performance insulation materials.


Nitrile Seals, Gaskets and Shims for Oil, Fuel and Solvent Resistance

Nitrile rubber (NBR) is one of the most commonly specified gasket materials due to its excellent resistance to oils, fuels, greases and many industrial solvents.

Nitrile seals and gaskets are frequently used in:

  • Fuel systems
  • Hydraulic equipment
  • Pumps and compressors
  • Automotive components
  • Industrial processing equipment

Their combination of durability, flexibility and chemical resistance makes nitrile gaskets an ideal solution for demanding sealing applications where exposure to petroleum-based products is expected.


Custom Rubber, Nylon, Acetal and PTFE Seals, Gaskets and Shims

Many applications require bespoke sealing components manufactured to precise dimensions and tolerances. Bluemay Weston specialises in producing custom-sized seals and gaskets from a wide range of engineering materials.

Rubber Seals and Gaskets

Offering excellent flexibility and sealing performance across a variety of environments.

Nylon Seals and Gaskets

Providing excellent wear resistance, strength and electrical insulation properties.

Acetal Seals and Gaskets

Ideal for applications requiring dimensional stability, low moisture absorption and high mechanical strength.

PTFE Seals and Gaskets

Highly resistant to chemicals, extreme temperatures and aggressive processing environments. PTFE is widely used within chemical processing, pharmaceutical and food manufacturing industries due to its exceptional performance characteristics.

Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce complex shapes and custom profiles from customer drawings, CAD files or samples.


Klingersil Seals and Gaskets for Steam and Chemical Applications

Klingersil® gasket materials are recognised throughout industry for their excellent sealing performance under pressure and elevated temperatures.

These materials are commonly specified for:

  • Steam systems
  • Industrial pipework
  • Flanges
  • Pumps and valves
  • Chemical processing equipment

Klingersil gaskets provide reliable sealing performance while maintaining resistance to a wide range of chemicals, oils and fluids, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.


Nomex Seals and Gaskets for High-Temperature Applications

Nomex® is a high-performance aramid material known for its exceptional thermal stability, flame resistance and electrical insulation properties.

Nomex seals and gaskets are commonly used in:

  • Aerospace applications
  • Electrical equipment
  • Battery systems
  • High-temperature industrial machinery
  • Fire protection systems

The material's ability to maintain performance under extreme temperatures makes it a preferred choice for critical engineering applications where safety and reliability are paramount.


Butyl Rubber Seals and Gaskets for Gas and Moisture Sealing

Butyl rubber offers outstanding resistance to air, gas and moisture permeation, making it an excellent material for sealing applications where environmental protection is essential.

Typical uses include:

  • HVAC systems
  • Weather sealing
  • Enclosures and cabinets
  • Marine applications
  • Water management systems

Butyl rubber seals remain flexible over extended periods and provide long-lasting protection against moisture ingress and environmental contamination.


Lexan FR Gaskets for Flame-Retardant Applications

Lexan FR® materials combine excellent impact resistance with recognised flame-retardant properties, including compliance with demanding safety standards such as UL94.

These materials are frequently used within:

  • Electrical enclosures
  • Power distribution systems
  • Transportation equipment
  • Aerospace assemblies
  • Safety-critical applications

Lexan FR gaskets help provide both environmental sealing and enhanced fire safety performance in applications where regulatory compliance is essential.


Self-Adhesive EPDM and Neoprene Foam Seals and Gaskets

For applications requiring quick installation and effective environmental sealing, self-adhesive EPDM and neoprene foam seals provide a practical and efficient solution.

Benefits include:

  • Rapid fitting and assembly
  • Excellent weather resistance
  • Water and dust protection
  • Vibration damping
  • Noise reduction

These materials are commonly used for doors, access panels, equipment housings, HVAC systems, automotive applications and electrical enclosures.

The self-adhesive backing simplifies installation while maintaining a secure and consistent seal.
