We can also produce or acquire nearly all rubbers and most plastic and paper goods and convert them into your finished application, whether it be a complete part, one of our specialty EMI/RFI Shielding Materials, an inclusion of a special adhesive, liner or combination there of, a smaller roll width, or simply your desired roll/sheet stock at our discounted prices. Our unique capabilities enable us to cut just about anything from the softest of rubbers and papers to the thickest metals up to 8" thick titanium! Our large machinery and specialized cutting surfaces allow us to do this as seemless applications up to 6 feet x 12 feet rectangular footprints while still holding to the strictest of tolerances commonly required by the aerospace/defense fields that we service along the various other industries we service. We can of course do bonding as well to create even bigger parts and have full in house molding capabilities as well. Let us be your single source for all of your needs. We hope the following information can assist you in selecting the proper material for your product and of course we carry many materials not listed below and can cut from any material you request. |

| Neoprene/Nitrile/EPDM Gaskets |
|
|
SAS carries a wide variety of Solid Neoprene, Nitrile, and EPDM in both commercial and military specification grades with Durometers ranging from as low as 10A all the way up to 100A. We can supply these materials in any design you can come up with as a finished part or in roll or sheet stock, of course either format can be done with any PSA/Liner combination you can think of if necessary. Most commercial grade thicknesses and some raw uncured rubber is kept in stock allowing us to meet even the strictest of timelines. We also have many fabric inserted variants should you require them.
Along with our solid Neoprene, Nitrile, and EPDM materials we also carry a wide range of Closed Cell Foams, which is also in both commercial and military grades using various different types of Neoprene/Nitrile/EPDM blends to meet military standards at a significant cost reduction along with 100% Neoprene Base options.

|
We also carry a wide range of both Solid and Closed Cell Sponge Silicones and Fluorosilicones, commonly used in high temperature applications, meeting commercial grades and many military specifications. Our extensive knowledge and partnerships in the industry with companies such as Saint Gobain High Performance Materials (formerly CHR Silicones) enable us to provide you with both the rarest and highest quality silicones that many companies would have a hard time finding from our own stock enabling us to give you the rapid delivery you require. As with our other rubbers we can cut or mold almost any part you can design or provide us with a sample on.

|
| Large / Oversized Gaskets |
|
|
| Frequently, your applications may require a need for an above average sized gasket that you may be having a hard time finding someone to manufacture. We pride ourselves on our ability to manufacture to any size using our knowledge and experience. Our customers, frequently, come to us for oversized gaskets in any shapes and sizes, most typically in the oversized area, large "washer style" gaskets or ID/OD Rectangles typically referred to as "window frame" gaskets. Whether you deem your design large, very large, or even "too large" we will gladly manufacture it for you. |
|
| High Precision Gaskets |
|
|
| When necessary we have the unique capabilities of holding to even the tightest of tolerances, within a micrometer. When your gasket designs must be perfect please contact us and we will manufacture with that in mind. These special gaskets are typically used by aerospace manufacturers where the gaskets must be true to design and there is no room for error. Keep in mind when requesting this option tooling will be substantially more expensive. |
|
| Water Jet Cut Gaskets |
|
|
 
Our Water Jet Machines can cut everything from common rubbers and plastics to the hardest of steels including 4" titanium. The advantages of Water Jet cut parts are that they involve no tooling which allows for quick deliveries and no tooling charges. They also enable extremely precise parts to your specifications. Our water jet machines (one such is pictured above) hold industry leading tolerances of +/- .003" with repeatability to +/- .002". The particular machine pictured above also represents one of the largest cutting surfaces available (6 ft x 12 ft). This enables us to provide seemless parts with no bonded joints in any size that fits within that rectangle area.
Other benefits to Water Jet Cut Gaskets are with thick rubbers in both solid and sponges where the typical method of manufacture, die cutting, would cause for severe concavities, die cutting provides a seemless wall similar to if the part had been molded, though not quite as smooth. If you are having a hard time with any of your designs or ideas and are not sure if it is best to Die Cut, Mold, or Water Jet cut the part call us and we will decide for you and provide you with exactly what you desire. |
