Elastomer Based Sealing
As with other product categories such as Rubber Edged Metal, Nylon Carrier, Rubber Coated Metal, Over Molded and "O" Rings, REC gaskets utilize retained stress in the "barrier" elastomer to form and maintain a seal.

Compressible Composite Carriers
REC technology employs compressible carriers engineered to transfer stored energy, (clamp load), to the elastomer "barrier".
