Gaskets are used to prevent leakage of fluids or gases by forming impervious barriers. For successful gasketing, it is necessary for the seal to remain intact, and leak-free over a long period of time. The gasket must be resistant to fluids and/or gases, and withstand the operating temperatures and pressures to which it is subjected.
