# [How to Prevent Gasket Failure - Part 1](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/preventing-gasket-failure-part-1)

Posted by [Ben Hvidston](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/ben-hvidston)

 June 12, 2025 9:54 AM

 

[![Examples of custom Marian seals & gaskets](https://blog.marianinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Silicone-Foam-Gaskets.jpg?width=319&height=274&name=Silicone-Foam-Gaskets.jpg)](https://marianinc.com/gaskets-and-seals/)Even the best-sealed enclosure can fail if the gasket material isn’t up to the challenge.

They say every failure is a step toward success, but we say that failure can be completely avoided by asking the right questions and having a clear understanding of your application's use case.

Lucky for you, we've condensed the important information we've learned over the years to help you make sure your enclosure is properly design right from the start. Check out the latest blog on the Rogers website, [6 Reasons Why Gaskets Fail: Materials and Environment](https://www.rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/6-reasons-why-gaskets-fail-materials-and-environment), and the video below to start designing more reliable sealing components for your enclosure applications today.

 

*Disclaimer: The Enclosure Institute™ is a free educational resource created by Marian, Inc. and Rogers Corporation to help engineers navigate enclosure sealing with expert guidance.*

[![Enroll in the Enclosure Institute™ today!](https://blog.marianinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1080x1080%20launch%20TM.png?width=216&height=216&name=1080x1080%20launch%20TM.png)](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/)In this blog, we break down 6 of the most common seal failure modes related to materials and environmental exposure including:

- Compression set 
- Improper material selection
- Abrasion
- UV degradation
- And more

Get more information on how to interpret properties like compression force deflection (CFD), density, and compression set (C-Set), and why these values matter in real-world sealing applications. Backed by visuals and test data, this [blog](https://rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/6-reasons-why-gaskets-fail-materials-and-environment) and video explain how materials like [BISCO® silicone](https://marianinc.com/materials/bisco-silicones/) and [PORON® polyurethane foams](https://marianinc.com/materials/poron-foams/) outperform legacy foams like neoprene in applications that must withstand extremes. 

Whether you're sealing against water, temperature swings, or chemicals, these insights help you evaluate material performance, predict failure risks, and choose better from the start.
