Why Is the Gasket So Important on Your Enclosure?
An enclosure’s ability to guard your electronics is only as good as its gasket. The slightest bit of dust or moisture can cause significant damage to your components. Even when a gasket appears to provide a flush seal, problems can escape the naked eye.
A Pour-In-Place (PIP) gasket has many advantage over a rope/glue-in gasket.
- No seam that will allow contaminants into your enclosure allowing IP65/IP66/IP67/IP69 ratings
- Computer controlled PIP gasket allows accurate tolerance for height and density
- PIP gaskets are designed to adhere properly to the surface of the enclosure
- Our closed-cell PIP will not absorb water or other liquids
