3.Marine Gasket Manufacturer

Gaskets for marine applications face similar challenges as those in automotive applications – but their environment can be even more demanding, for several reasons:

• Marine engines usually run hotter because they are closed in and receive less airflow (not digging this statement)
• These engines are typically higher horsepower and/or performance-oriented than automotive engines
• Marine engines always run under load – which can cause more severe wear
• Saltwater cooling systems make marine engines and gaskets more susceptible to corrosion

High-performance marine vehicles depend on careful engineering and the most robust materials to withstand everything the marine environment can dish out. Let SMI experts help specify the materials to help you keep oil, water, fuel and exhaust gasses where they belong with quality marine engine gaskets and seals.

Marine engines have unique systems for cooling, which require special gaskets to seal them. SMI custom engineering can accommodate products for both standard engine rotation as well as timing cover seals and rear main seals for reverse rotation engine applications. Our reverse rotation timing cover seals and rear main seals are made of premium materials like PTFE or fluoroelastomer, depending on the application. People often ask us if SMI produces products like Fel-Pro marine gaskets, and the answer is “yes!” The products SMI produces for the marine market include:

• Head gaskets
• Dust seals
• Intake manifold gaskets
• Valve cover gaskets
• Vibration gaskets
• Exhaust gaskets
• Heat exchanger/oil cooler
•  Sterndrive / transmission
• Carburetor
• Supercharger/intercooler
• Cylinder head gaskets
• Engine main seals
• Oil pan gaskets
• Thermostat housing sets
• And other marine-engine-specific gaskets

SMI manufactures high-performance parts by die cutting or waterjet cutting parts from continuous roll sheet materials, or molded sheets, from materials with a wide range of properties:

• Good for heavy water sealing and submersion
• Use with acrylic or silicone adhesives
• Moldable
• Wide temperature range (-100°F to 500°F)
• UV and ozone resistance
• Can be die cut or waterjet cut
• UL Flame rated
• Molding allows for custom three-dimensional parts
• Closed cell materials prevent wicking
• Soft gaskets allow for sealing with low closure force
