Rubber Gasket IMPA Code – Understanding Marine Sealing Standards

The IMPA Code (International Marine Purchasing Association Code) is a universal classification system used by the marine and offshore industry to simplify product identification and ordering. Each product, including rubber gaskets, has its own unique IMPA code, helping ship engineers and suppliers ensure accuracy and consistency worldwide.

When sourcing marine gaskets, using the correct IMPA code guarantees that you receive the right material, size, and performance standard, no matter where you are.

Why Rubber Gaskets Matter in Marine Applications

Rubber gaskets are essential for sealing and protecting critical systems on ships, offshore rigs, and industrial machinery. They prevent leaks, dampen vibration, and ensure equipment runs safely and efficiently.

Typical uses include:

• Pipe flange seals
• Engine and compressor joints
• Fuel, oil, and water systems
• HVAC and ventilation connections
• Pump and valve assemblies

Common IMPA Codes for Rubber Gaskets

Below are the most common gasket materials used under IMPA-listed marine standards:

EPDM Rubber Gaskets (IMPA 812101–812104)
– Excellent resistance to seawater, ozone, and UV.
– Ideal for water systems and outdoor use.

Nitrile (Buna-N) Gaskets (IMPA 812105–812108)
– Perfect for oil and fuel applications.
– Resistant to hydrocarbons and grease.

Neoprene Gaskets (IMPA 812109–812112)
– Balanced resistance to weather, oils, and mild chemicals.
– Common for general marine sealing.

Viton® (FKM) Rubber Gaskets
– Superior heat and chemical resistance.
– Used in high-performance engines and exhaust systems.

Silicone Rubber Gaskets
– Safe for food and medical equipment on vessels.
– Reliable from -50°C to +225°C.

How to Order Using an IMPA Code

To ensure accuracy when ordering rubber gaskets by IMPA code, please provide:

• IMPA code (if available)
• Dimensions (inner/outer diameter, thickness)
• Quantity
• Material preference (EPDM, Nitrile, Neoprene, etc.)

If the specific gasket you need isn’t listed, we also manufacture custom gaskets using CNC precision cutting for perfect fit and consistent quality.
