Die Cutting Versus Laser Cutting Gasket Manufacturing
Gasket manufactures have evolved over the years to provide new and improved innovations for all sorts of gaskets and seals. Die cutting gaskets is ultimately the simplest and most cost effective process manufactures offer…
All about PTFE gasket material
PTFE is a fluorocarbon solid consisting of carbon and fluorine. PTFE has water repellent qualities, as well as low coefficient of friction against solids. It is best known by its brand name Teflon®. It is commonly used in non-stick coating for pans and other cookware…
Thermal Pads and Their Usage
Thermal pads are solid materials commonly used with heatsinks to help remove heat from components that need cooling to operate. When air or rough surfaces cause imperfect surface contact between contacting components heat transfer is reduced. The heat will increase until possible component failure…
Static Seals Versus Dynamic Seals Application
The surfaces in contact with a seal determine what type to use. The surface can either be static or dynamic, in motion or without movement. Static seals are usually used when there is no relative motion between mating surfaces. Dynamic seals are the opposite…
Silicone Rubber Gasket Material
Silicone rubber compounds offers numerous advantages not found in many other rubber polymers. Silicone rubbers have good electrical, chemical, flame retardancy, and excellent resistance to heat and cold. These unique qualities make it appealing for use in electronics, automation, automotive, medical devices and food products…
