Understanding How Gaskets and Seals Work...

       Why is it important to understand how gaskets and seals work? Well, a gasket or a seal is the foundation to any engineered part at Magnum Diesel Parts. It is important to note that the load-bearing and environmental properties of a gasket are given careful consideration during the intricate design process in order to guarantee a robust, long-lasting assembly. The same process goes for an or elastomeric seal. 

      Due to the wide variety of sealing conditions encountered in the diesel industry, it is necessary to be able to provide gasket and sealing materials with diverse physical properties to meet these individual demands! With an extensive background in sealing systems, engineers at MDP choose from the highest grade gasket materials and polymers.

       That being said, domestic polymer compounds for fluor-elastomers, HNBR, and oil resistant silicones have become very common choices with the engineers at  MDP in order to seal the most demanding applications. Vast experience in the compounding, molding and curing of these elastomers is what makes the difference in Magnum Diesel Parts' sealing products!
