IGP Engineers has honed its expertise in the exacting craft of producing non-metallic gaskets, meticulously adhering to a spectrum of international standards that include ASME, JIS, BS, DIN, and more. Our core strength lies in our capacity to tailor our gasket solutions to the distinctive and specific demands of our esteemed clientele.
Non-metallic gaskets are widely used in various industries due to their flexibility, chemical resistance, and cost-effectiveness. They are ideal for applications where metal gaskets may not perform well due to corrosion, temperature, pressure, or alignment issues. Choosing between non-metallic and metallic gaskets depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the type of fluids involved, operating conditions, and cost considerations.

Our commitment to precision and quality underlines IGP Engineers as your trusted source for non-metallic gaskets.
We employ a diverse array of frequently used materials including the below:
PTFE (Teflon) Gaskets
Known for their excellent chemical resistance, PTFE gaskets are ideal for corrosive environments.
Graphite Gaskets
Made from flexible graphite, these gaskets are used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
Fiber Gaskets
Often made from compressed fiber materials (non-asbestos aramid fiber), these gaskets can be reinforced with other materials for added strength.
Mixed Asbestos Gaskets (Compressed and Woven Asbestos)
Made from a mixture of asbestos fibers, rubber, and other fillers that are compressed into sheets.
Ferrule Gaskets
Ferrule Gaskets are a class of non-metallic gaskets designed to incorporate an inner protective layer that serves to shield against direct contact with the handled fluid. These gaskets utilize materials akin to other non-metallic gaskets. The unique aspect of Ferrule Gaskets lies in the integration of an SS Ferrule, which provides an extra layer of safeguarding.
Rubber or Elastomeric Gaskets
Our array of Elastomeric Gaskets spans an extensive spectrum of materials, including Natural Rubber, Neoprene, Nitrile, EPDM, Butyl, Polybutadiene, Silicon, Fluorocarbon, Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene, Styrene Butadiene Rubber, and more. These rubber gaskets are available in a variety of colors, including black, white, or red. Customers can choose whether they prefer gaskets with or without fabric or metal reinforcements. Reinforcements may comprise wire mesh, metal, or natural and synthetic fabrics, and these choices depend on specific specifications and the required thickness to suit a range of service conditions. Our Rubber Gaskets are adeptly molded to fit various flange dimensions, including full face, flat face, and blind gaskets. They have found extensive utility across diverse industries, such as petroleum refineries, process industries, and food processing units.
