Inertex® RRTC Railroad Tank Car Gaskets are engineered to solve problems related to the transportation of aggressive chemicals.

RRTC gaskets come in two designs. The first is the type “N” design, which is a gasket nozzle design that fits in most 18″ and 20″ nozzles. The second is the type “DL” design, which is a Gasket Dome Lid Design.  It stays in place inside the tank car dome groove to lessen handling and positioning problems.
