SEALING / GASKETING
One or two component, moisture or heat cured polyurethane and silicon materials are used in cured in place dispensing systems. Curing happens before or after the assembly of work parts based on the application requirement and selected material. Strip die cut and moulded gaskets are replaced by cured in place seals and gaskets because of many advantages such as better compression and recovery of physical properties, uniform structure at the start-stop point, remarkable reduction in labour cost with its suitability to be used in automation concepts. 

Thixotropic Foam Gaskets (FIPFG: Formed-In-Place-Foam-Gasket): High-thixotropic gasket system is suitable for three dimensional surfaces. With its thixotropic properties, it is ideal for workparts with level and inclined surfaces.

Liquid Foam Gaskets (FIPFG: Formed-In-Place-Foam-Gasket): Liquid foam gasket systemis produced in a range of flow properties and self-levelling to fill gaps and grooves.
Compact Gaskets (FIPG: Formed-In-Place-Gasket): Compact gaskets are dispensed in place to produce unfoamed gaskets.

 

Advantages

  • Reduce inventory and procurement costs by replacing multiple foam gaskets with one liquid product
  • Lower labour costs through precise, robotic application
  • Excellent suited for series production particularly for large-volume production
  • Superior quality compared to a manual foam tape/gasket application
  • Save money and time during the prototype and testing stages — can be applied to parts in minutes
  • Waterproof due to the integral skin
  • Meets high quality standards (e.g. IP 67, high pressure water steam jet tests)
  • Uniform gasket with a neat coupling. No seams or joints to leak
  • Easy compensation of component tolerances
  • Low assembly forces needed due to the mixed-cell foam structure
  • Excellent compression set
  • Precise material adjustment to meet the specifications of the application
  • Three-dimensional and complex thixotropic seals
  • Does not require heat or light for curing and will not become liquid on re-heating
  • Conforms to surface irregularities
  • Accurate placement within ± 0.01cm
  • Uses low-pressure equipment. Provides improved operator safety
  • Increased production speed. Gaskets can be applied at a rate of 300mm per second and reach tack-free cure in 5 to 30 minutes
  • Self-adhesion. No adhesive required
  • Ambient temperature application. No heating costs
  • Automated meter-mix equipment can be programmed to dispense quickly and accurately in different shapes and sizes
