In addition to the shim sheet, we can also help with cut parts.

These can be supplied to suit your needs when it comes to surface finish, de-burring and more.

Liquid Gasket Adhesives.

In addition to our enormous range of conventional gasket options, AG Wollongong is pleased to offer a  variety of liquid gasket adhesives. 

This includes a number of the silicone and MS polymer adhesives mentioned earlier as well as dedicated grades of Weiconlock for Flange Sealing and Gasketing.

Weiconlock Gasket Adhesives are very easy to use and are often a good option for sealing irregular, close fitting flanges that operate at low pressure (up to 6 bar). In these applications, they can replace conventional gaskets and create a permanent, leak-free seal without the need for cutting or fitting.

For industrial grade sealing, Associated Gaskets Brisbane offers our range of general-purpose gasket materials. As an independent company, we are pleased to stock a number of different products from a range of brands. These include everything from KlingerSil C4430 to Garlock’s BlueGuard 3000 and many more.

Our full range of general-purpose gasket materials includes a large number of different grades and types to suit various applications. All are stocked in a range of thicknesses with many also held in extra-large sheets so larger gaskets can be supplied in one piece when it is required.

Whether you require an economical, all-round compressed fibre material like our Conafi, a slightly  higher spec option like our Blackmar, a material designed for compressor sealing (C5400) or something else entirely, we’re able to assist.

Welding Blankets

Fibreglass Cloths.

Fibreglass cloths continue to prove themselves as one of the most versatile, robust and long lasting forms of insulation fabric. They combine excellent temperature resistance with very good chemical compatibility, ageing stability and physical strength. Because of this  combination of benefits, they are used as the base material for a variety of different styles of insulation.

We are pleased to offer a huge selection of fibreglass cloths and fibreglass based insulation materials. These include everything from various grades of standard, untreated woven fibreglass to many, many more specialised grades. Fibreglass coated with silicone, vertex or aluminium are all held in stock, as are other grades that have been reinforced with steel or treated to make tacky gasket materials or to create our rewettable cloth lagging.

Flange Spray Shields.

Used to protect your personnel, plant and equipment from leaks; Flange Spray Shields are a cost effective maintenance solution that can also help identify a slow leak in the first place.

Widely used in all kinds of kilns, ovens, furnaces and boilers as well as for the wrapping of pipes, covering of equipment and lining of surfaces; these flexible insulation materials offer excellent heat breakdown and, depending on the material a range of ancillary benefits.

Services Offered at Associated Gaskets Wollongong

Our Wollongong branch is much more than just a warehouse in Unanderra. The real reason it exists is to provide personal, local service to all our customers all over the Illawarra and down to Canberra and the ACT.

Below are just some of the services provided by our Wollongong team. This is a summary only, they’re really there to help in any way they can.

Product Advice and Suggestions

One of the best things about our job is getting to help people solve problems. We really enjoy finding new solutions for new applications, or identifying the best product for a particular need.

While we will continue to publish product information and videos on our site, sometimes there’s no substitute for personalised advice and service. 

Our Wollongong team have a wealth of experience with all kinds of sealing, insulating, bonding and many other types of applications and would be very glad to help you find a solution to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking for a lining material for a very high temperature oven, an exhaust manifold gasket material, or a threadlocker able to withstand 200°C, we can help.

Local Stock

We understand how urgent some requirements are. Waiting for goods to come down from Sydney can sometimes simply not be an option. That’s a big part of why we have our branches, to keep local stock available to help all of our customers out when things can’t wait.

Associated Gaskets Wollongong keeps a huge range of different materials in stock. Everything from gasket and sealing materials to different types of thermal and electrical insulation, adhesives, tapes and safety products are kept on hand. We’ll be the first to admit that not everything is in stock, but a large amount is.

If you need one of our products quickly, the branch is a great place to start. On the off-chance they don’t have it on the shelf, they’ll do their best to get it to you as quickly as possible and, if it’s an item you’ll use again and again, we can look to keep it locally for you.

To check if a particular size of item is in stock, please do contact our Wollongong team.

Sample Identification, Measurement and Reverse-Engineering

Sometimes, all you have to work from is the old part. This can be true with a blown-out gasket, an insulator out of a motor, or what’s left of a boiler door seal. No matter, if you can bring in your old sample, we’ll be happy to help identify the material, measure it up and produce a new one.

With our years of experience, we’re used to the challenges of working from less than perfect samples and can help compensate for missing parts or identify alternatives to older materials that are no longer made. We’re also not afraid to get our hands dirty and will be more than happy to help measure and inspect the item.

Whether you need a couple of new gaskets or a couple of hundred, our Wollongong team is here to help work out what material and size you need, and get you your new ones as soon as possible.

Site Call-Outs

For some jobs, bringing in a sample isn’t really practical. We understand. When you need someone to come out and help measure a flange or identify a material that’s still in service, our team can help with that as well.

For years, Associated Gaskets Wollongong has been conducting regular visits to all of our customers in the surrounding region. These can often be arranged urgently to help with breakdowns or other time-sensitive needs.

We’re more than happy to get our hands dirty and really enjoy having the opportunity to see first-hand some of the amazing uses people have come up with for our products. To arrange a visit from one of our experienced team, please do get in contact today.
