Gasket, seal, and shim casting
Irregular flange faces and legacy machinery need gaskets, seals, and shims at thicknesses no catalog part matches.
The need for gasket, seal, and shim casting
BHI Coatings performs gasket, seal, and shim casting across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Irregular flange faces, pitted seats, and legacy machinery ask for gaskets, seals, and shims at thicknesses no catalog part matches. Sourcing a custom part costs lead time the outage cannot absorb. And a poor-fitting gasket on an uneven face leaks, weeps, and has the equipment back apart on the next cycle.
How BHI Coatings does gasket, seal, and shim casting
We cast gaskets, seals, and shims in place with a fluid elastomer that cures to the actual mating surface. The crew preps and releases the faces, then applies a Belzona 2000-series elastomer that takes the exact shape of the gap, so no mold, machined part, or specialty tooling is required. For higher-load shim work the supporting Belzona 2211 elastomer builds a load-bearing fit. All of it cures cold.
Typically applied with Belzona 2131, Belzona 2211, matched to the service conditions.
You get a gasket, seal, or shim formed to the real geometry of the joint, with no catalog lead time attached to it. Worn and out-of-flat faces seal on the first reassembly.
More Rubber & Elastomer applications
Sliding and impact wear strips rubber linings off chutes, hoppers, and slurry equipment, exposing bare steel to fast metal loss.
