Why Electrical Box Manufacturers Trust CGR for Weatherproof Gaskets

Precision Gaskets for Harsh Environments

Outdoor electrical boxes face constant exposure to rain, humidity, dust, and temperature swings. Without a reliable gasket or seal, moisture intrusion can corrode components, trip breakers, and create safety hazards. CGR Products solves this problem by engineering custom‑cut rubber and foam gaskets that create a watertight barrier between the cover and the enclosure.

The CGR Process: From Concept to Cut

CGR Products gasket manufacturing process is built around precision, repeatability, and material expertise. Whether the enclosure requires EPDM, neoprene, cross‑linked polyethylene foam, or a specialty elastomer, customers can select materials engineered for outdoor durability and long‑term compression set resistance.

The workflow includes:

  • Material selection based on environmental exposure and sealing requirements.
  • CAD‑based design using customer drawings or reverse‑engineered samples.
  • Lamiation adhesive applied to the back side of the gasket for easy application
  • Die‑cutting or waterjet cutting depending on volume, tolerance, and geometry.
