Gasketing
A gasket is a seal that fills a space between two objects, usually to prevent a gas or liquid from leaking between the two parts. Gaskets are often made from felt or rubber, but also can be produced by accurately applying beads of silicone, polyurethane, or other sealant material.
Gasketing Solutions for Tier 1 Automotive
Gasketing is often seen in engine control modules, transmission cases, air and fluid filters, and extreme use electronics. High-quality gasketing materials that are properly applied prevent leaks and the intrusion of unintended fluids and gases while being resistant to high pressures, temperatures, and vibrations.
- Liquid gasketing is a popular and cost-effective way to replace molded, die cut, and other types of gaskets. One or two component urethanes, elastomers and silicones, are used to form a seal that prevents leaking and keeps the outside environment from invading the system.
- Form-in-place gasketing (FIPG) is a type of liquid gasketing, generally accomplished with a two-component silicone or polyurethane. The material is applied to the perimeter of an enclosure, often an electrical enclosure.
