Foam In Place Gasket

At falcon plastics we pride ourselves on offering a diverse set of modern technologies and services that set us apart from other molders.

Foam in place gasket.

Dynafoam products are physically foamed by injecting nitrogen n 2 and curing takes place once the product is out of the foaming system in contact simply with the humidity of ambient air or under accelerated humidity and temperature conditions. Appliance makers place these gaskets in washing machines to seal the tub water pump and water distributor. For additional information on gasket in place technology and related applications visit our tape solutions website or contact an expert directly. Manufacturers in the automotive electronics construction and appliances markets often use gaskets to provide a tight seal between two surfaces to prevent leakage.

Today as the degree of automation increases liquid or thixotropic sealing foams are applied directly to the components on site using dosing equipment. Dynafoam foam in place gasketing fipg technology is based on mono component polyurethane pur chemistry. These gaskets serve as a complete barrier and have gap filling properties. Traditionally components are sealed with pre punched sponge rubber seals or by bonding sealing cords.

Automotive manufacturers use foam seals in parts ranging from watershield panels placed inside doors to motor covers and taillamp lenses. Henkel makes the loctite 5260 line of polyurethane foam gasket materials. Liquid gaskets in situ sealing foams cured in place fipfg formed in place foam gasket. Rather than manually applying gaskets to seal two surfaces manufacturers can use a foam in place gasketing and sealing system to automate the process.
