| Case History |
|---|
A DYMAX form-in-place/cure-in-place gasket replaced an RTV silicone gasket. The result was one assembly line that replaced more than two silicone lines. This enabled the manufacturer to speed production, use less floor space, improve product yield, reduce the labor used to shuffle parts, and J.I.T. manufacturing, all while improving the service life of their assembly.

UV Curing FORM-IN-PLACE (FIP) and
CURE-IN-PLACE (CIP) Gaskets |
|
DYMAX form-in-place (FIP)/cure-in-place (CIP) gaskets cure
completely in seconds - even to 1/4 inch thick beads - with good compression set. UV/Visible light curing, FIP/CIP gaskets eliminate ovens, racking, stacking, and waiting for traditional FIP/CIP
gaskets to cure. DYMAX form-in-place/cure-in-place gaskets are silicone free and solvent free.
Designed for sealing intricate, complex configurations as well as flat surfaces or wide, shallow grooves, permanent FIP/CIP
gaskets can eliminate the delay experienced with slow-curing resins and the
design and inventory expense associated with pre-cut gaskets. DYMAX gaskets can
easily accommodate component design changes and part variation without
additional development costs. DYMAX FIP/CIP gaskets are available with a tack-free to pressure-sensitive surface tack and come in low to high, non-sag viscosities. They have excellent adhesion to plastics, glass, and metal and are ideal for trim assembly, sound and vibration dampening, and non-skid applications.
