Cold Storage Gasket By Orka Fittings

Material:

Cold storage gaskets are typically made from materials that can withstand low temperatures and resist brittleness. Common materials include silicone, EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer), and neoprene.
Temperature Range:

Gasket materials should be suitable for the specific temperature range of the cold storage environment. They must remain flexible and maintain their sealing properties even at extremely low temperatures.
Density and Compression Set:

The gasket material should have the right density to provide an effective seal when the door is closed. Compression set refers to the ability of the material to return to its original shape after being compressed. Low compression set is essential for maintaining a tight seal over time.
Chemical Resistance:

Cold storage gaskets should be resistant to chemicals commonly used in cleaning and maintenance of cold storage facilities. This helps prevent deterioration of the gasket material over time.
UV Resistance:

If the cold storage area is exposed to sunlight, the gasket material should have UV resistance to prevent degradation from prolonged exposure.
Size and Shape:

Gaskets come in various sizes and shapes to fit different door or opening configurations. The gasket profile should be designed to provide an effective seal when the door is closed.
Installation Method:

Consideration should be given to the method of gasket installation. Some gaskets have embedded magnets or are designed for quick and easy installation, ensuring a proper seal.
FDA Compliance (if applicable):

If the cold storage is used for storing food products, the gasket material should comply with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations to ensure it is safe for contact with food.
Durability:

The gasket material should be durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring a longer lifespan and consistent sealing performance.
