At Chambers Gasket, we have been a leading name throughout the industry as a premiere provider of gasketing and related services.

We fabricate a variety of die cut and water jet cut gaskets from vegetable fiber materials. Also known as Detroiter or plant fiber, vegetable fiber is ideal for sealing oil under low temperatures and low pressure. The material is protein-glycerine treated and works well for a wide range of sealing applications where temperatures can reach up to 250 °F. Our precision equipment can machine materials with thicknesses ranging from 0.006 in up to 0.125 in. These fibers are sourced from Fibreflex, the country’s top vegetable fiber manufacturer, and are chemically treated to resist tars, oils, water, grease, air, gasoline, and solvents. This makes our gaskets ideal for industrial, chemical, petroleum, and automotive applications.
