Tadpole Gasket
Tadpole Gasket
Our tadpole gaskets are designed to provide a high temperature thermal seal in industrial, laboratory, commercial, and residential ovens and dryers with a maximum continuous operating temperature of 1000°F/540°C.
Constructed with type E fiberglass, the bulb may be filled with various constructions of either fiberglass or stainless steel in order to achieve the proper design compression. Additionally, the bead of the tadpole may also be filled to accommodate various door constructions. Textile engineering, coupled with our heat treating and coating expertise, allow for a wide variety of constructions in order to meet unique environmental and design constraints.

Custom Tadpole Gaskets for Your Design Requirements
There are a number of variables that need to be considered to ensure proper tadpole gasket selection. Our vertically integrated manufacturing and engineering capabilities allow us to design, prototype and produce the optimal solution, in the minimal timeframe. Although KAF Seals offers “standard” tadpole gasket product configurations, we welcome the opportunity to develop a custom gasket around your design requirements. In collaborate with your team, we review fit, compression and dimensional requirements to create a tailored gasket solution to your specific design challenge.
