Selector Guide Light-Curable Form-In-Place and Cure-In-Place Gaskets Ready to Use in Seconds! Dymax FIP/CIP gaskets cure completely in seconds - even in ¼"-thick beads. No more racking, stacking, waiting, and un-racking as required with traditional FIP gaskets. Dymax light-curable FIP/CIP gaskets offer the ultimate in gasket design flexibility. Designed for flat flanges or wide shallow grooves, permanent FIP/CIP gaskets can eliminate the delay experienced with slow-curing resins, as well as the design, inventory, and labor expense associated with pre-cut gaskets. Dymax gaskets cure faster and deeper than UV silicone, and do not release corrosive chemical by-products upon cure. DISPENSE AND CURE! ASSEMBLE IN SECONDS! LOWER PROCESSING COSTS! FIP/CIP gaskets have fast cure, low compression set, and a wide range of properties which makes them the lowest per-unit cost choice for many gasket applications. Some Uses for FIP/CIP Gaskets: Sound dampening Vibration dampening Non-skid surfaces Chemical, moisture, and air sealant Some Applications for FIP/CIP Gaskets: Automotive wheel covers and door handles Mobile cell phones Fuel cells Automotive and appliance casings Critical electronic assemblies Electrical conduit boxes Speaker assemblies HVAC sealant Filters Dispensing gasket bead onto appliance handle Features Benefits Bead Completely Cures in Seconds - Productivity – assemble and test immediately - Eliminates ovens, racking, stacking, and slow cure cycles - Reduces footprint of in-process parts One-Part System Form-In-Place and Cure-In-Place Low Compression Set Surface Tack Adhesion Depth of Cure Eliminates meter mixing, purge, and waste resin Eliminates the design and inventory cost of pre-cut gaskets Re-sealable From slick to pressure-sensitive feel Excellent adhesion to plastics, glass, and metals Thin or thick gaskets (3 mils to over 6.35 mm) Viscosity Range Low viscosity to non-flowing gels

Form-In-Place and Cure-In-Place Gasket Selector Guide Dymax FIP/CIP gaskets are for sealing against atmospheric moisture, debris, and other contaminants. Resistance against moisture and chemicals will depend upon temperature, the length of exposure, and the geometry of the part. Service life and suitability must be determined by the user for each application. Product GA-103 Resistant to water, acid bases Within GA-105 Soft, sticky gasket Good adhesion product line, most chlorine & highest temperature resistance Properties Self-leveling gasket with greatest deflection Appears GA-120...

Design Recommendations for FIP/CIP Gaskets FIP/CIP gaskets are designed for use on flanges or in wide, shallow grooves. Deep channels typically requiring o-rings are not recommended because such channels use more resin and are difficult to fill and seal. Sharp channel edges can add stress that may shorten gasket life. Diagrams show that FIP/CIP gaskets are not recommended in deep grooves having height-to-width ratios of 1:1 or more. In grooved situations, avoid sharp edges that could cut into gaskets and damage the seal. Recommended Interfaces for FIP/CIP Applications (flanges and shallow...

Light-Curing Systems Dramatically reduce your manufacturing costs and increase throughput with UV-curing systems from Dymax that cure UV adhesives and UV coatings in seconds. UV-curing flood lamps, spot-curing lamps, and UV conveyors can be integrated into existing manufacturing assembly lines or used as stand-alone, bench-top curing systems. Dymax UV-curing lamps provide clean, worker-friendly cures and are ideal for industrial UV bonding, coating, encapsulating, potting, and sealing applications. UV-curing systems are used worldwide throughout the automotive, electronic, industrial,...
