- In addition to their flexibility and ease of installation, sheet gaskets are also known for their durability and resistance to high temperatures and pressures. Depending on the material used, sheet gaskets can withstand extreme conditions without deforming or losing their sealing properties. This makes them suitable for use in demanding applications where safety and reliability are critical
