Gaskets, Insulators & Shields
Components that protect product performance
A well-made gasket disappears into the design of your product. It leaves clean lines, a proper fit and the appearance of a unified whole. But beneath the surface, that small component plays a critical role. Gaskets seal vulnerable entry points against dust and moisture, insulate electrical components, control EMI and support reliable assembly.
Designing and manufacturing the right gasket, insulator or shield takes more than cutting material to shape. It requires material knowledge, precision machining and process control.
iD Products manufactures precision die-cut gaskets, insulators and shields for applications requiring sealing, electrical isolation, EMI control, cushioning, spacing and repeatable assembly.
When gasket failures become product issues
Gaskets may be the smallest component in your assembly. But when they fail due to poor fit, design or material selection, the impact on product performance is significant — and costly.
poor sealing: The wrong material or thickness can allow dust, moisture and contaminants.
compression creep: Sustained pressure reduces recovery and sealing performance over time, especially in a reclosable seal.
out-of-tolerance fit: Inconsistent dimensions create wider variation from part to part causing leaks and gaps.
EMI leakage: Insufficient shielding allows electromagnetic interference to impact sensitive electronics, affecting system performance.
material compatability: Exposure to chemicals, temperature swings, UV, weather and other environmental conditions shortens performance life.
dielectric breakdown: Excess voltage with the wrong insulation material increases risk of electrical failure.
excess noise and vibration: Rattles and buzzes create a harsh user experience, while the underlying mechanical stress causes material shift and part wear.
Layered performance: Engineering the right material construction
Gasket performance starts with a precision fit. How well it functions also depends on the material’s physical and mechanical properties within the operating environment.
Material family: Rubber, foam, or plastic based on the part’s function.
Thickness and density: The right material profile to support compression, spacing, sealing, insulation or cushioning.
Compression and recovery: How the material responds when pressed into place — and how well it springs back to its original height after use.
Dielectric or shielding requirements: Electrical insulation, barrier protection or EMI shielding needs based on the surrounding components.
Temperature and chemical exposure: Material compatibility with heat, cold, moisture, oils, cleaners or other operating conditions.
Adhesive lamination: Pressure-sensitive adhesive options to support placement, assembly speed and sealing.
Tolerance: Cutouts, edges and close-tolerance dimensions designed and die cut to fit your assembly.
At iD Products, we help you finalize your gasket design by evaluating the details that affect fit, function and long-term performance.
Full-spectrum solutions with gaskets, insulators and shields
How you define a gasket depends on its purpose. Gaskets provide an array of solutions, including sealing, insulation, shielding, vibration control, spacing and assembly support. Some applications call for flexible elastomers or foams. Others require rigid plastics or non-ferrous metals. Whatever performance requirement, iD Products can help you create custom gaskets, insulators and shields designed for your application.
SEALING GASKETS FOR ENCLOSURES AND HOUSING
Custom gaskets help seal out dust, moisture and contaminants in equipment enclosures, covers, panels and housings.
DIELECTRIC INSULATORS FOR ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
Insulators and barrier components help separate conductive parts, reduce electrical risk and support safer product performance.
EMI AND SHIELDING COMPONENTS
Shielding materials and custom-cut components help protect sensitive electronics from electromagnetic interference and signal disruption.
CUSHIONING, SPACING AND VIBRATION-DAMPING PARTS
Foam, rubber and specialty materials can be die cut into pads, spacers, bumpers and dampening components.
ADHESIVE-BACKED PARTS FOR FASTER ASSEMBLY
Pressure-sensitive adhesives can be added to many die-cut gaskets, insulators and shielding materials to simplify placement, reduce assembly time and improve repeatability.Technical specifications for gaskets, insulators and shields
