Form-in-place Conductive Elastomeric Gasket - 1

Form-in-Place Gaskets Product Overview Kemtron Form-in-Place (FIP) Elastomer compounds are directly dispensed onto component hardware or enclosure via a pressurised fluid dispensing system on a numerically controlled XYZ table to form a gasket for RFI/EMI shielding and/or environmental seal for dust and moisture. The dispensing machine deposits the gasket by following a pre-determined CNC path to provide accuracy and repeatability. The process advantages are • Component is integrated with EMI shielding and/ or environmental gasket. • Materials are one-component room curable. • Assembly time is reduced as gasket is included on component. • Rapid prototyping. • Low setup costs. • Smaller gasket land required. • Variety of materials available to optimise shielding and galvanic compatibility. • No material waste. • Excellent EMI shielding. • Can be applied to metal and plastic 19-21 Finch Drive, Springwood Industrial Estate, Braintree, Essex CM7 2SF, United Kingdom.

Form-in-place Conductive Elastomeric Gasket - 2

Form-in-Place Gaskets Product Overview (Continued) Applications Suited to applications where small, intricate gasket profiles are required, such as on multi-compartment labyrinth housings with minimum gasket land area where traditional larger types of gasket are not suitable. This process also negates the assembly costs associated with traditional gaskets as the Form-in-Place gasket becomes an integral part of the housing or enclosure. The process is suitable for depositing on both metal and metallised plastic components/housing. Availability Kemtron can dispense FIP gaskets directly onto...
