A Gasket is a seal that fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Gaskets use compression to provide a tight, leak-free seal between mating parts and it is a type of sealing material used to prevent leaks between the brake fluid reservoir and the master cylinder in a hydraulic braking unit.

Attributes:
• Resistant to chemical degradation, without becoming deformed or extruding under pressure
• Manufactured not to deform and not degrade or break down over time and extreme temperatures

Applications:
A Gasket fills any irregularities or imperfections on the mating surfaces, ensuring a tight and leak-free connection.
