In the busy life of a manufacturing engineer it is easy to lose sight of standard options where the default choice will do – so it is useful to consider some of simple EMKA<\/a><\/strong> options of extruded gasket profiles to suit varying applications for industrial cabinets\/enclosures, specialist vehicles, HVACR, railways and similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include: EPDM\/NBR – excellent general purpose industrial materials for IP protection, with good chemical resistance, available in stock and custom sizes, well know and understood by users, easy to handle and install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flock coating<\/strong> – a scratch-free coating to provide a smooth sliding action popular for windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMC (coating)<\/strong> – for electro-magnetic compatibility to maintain or increase the protection of sensitive equipment from external EM radiation – or to protect external equipment from the internal generation of EM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vulcanising<\/strong> – a tough resilient way to form joints, frames and continuous sections which forms an integral material connection between the extruded ends which offers greater strength and performance than gluing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Slipcoat<\/strong> – a simple coating process to redress the effect of friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon<\/strong> – high temperature, fire resistant for rail, tunnels etc, food industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of these perhaps of particular interest in time-saving and quality enhancement is the provision of pre-assembled gasket rings and frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper sealing of ends and corners is essential to maintaining full sealing performance of a gasket profile, thus eliminating problems of \u2018cutting short\u2019 which leaves a gap in the installed gasket strip, also addressing the problem of sealing into a square corner – otherwise often achieved by running the gasket round and creasing the material or by cutting and not adequately sealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Pre-assembled gasket is ideal for rapid application to door frames or apertures such as skylights, vents, access panels in electrical\/electronic cabinets or enclosures – also for vehicle OEMs for car, truck and coach doors, as well as for caravans, railway coaches and specialist vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard shapes include butt joins and right-angle joins enabling rings and frames as well as combinations to be produced in steel inserted profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly is very simple by pushing or knocking onto a flange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
