Silicone Gasketing Solutions
Overview
Across all industries and applications, improving the performance, comfort, efficiency, and safety of products is important. In nearly all manufacturing processes, gaskets play an indispensable role, ensuring seamless operation, durability, and security.
At Polymer Science, our unwavering commitment to quality adhesive, tape, and coating solutions promises both innovation and reliability.
Why Silicone Gaskets?
Silicone gaskets offer a range of advantages during manufacturing, assembly, and across the service life of products. Long gone are the days when gaskets were simply seen as “fillers.” Today’s gaskets, especially those made of silicone, offer adaptability.
High-performance silicone gaskets handle diverse environmental and mechanical challenges with finesse and resilience. When designers, OEMs, and Tier-1 suppliers partner with Polymer Science, our extensive experience, combined with our capability to customize solutions, ensure silicone foam gaskets and gasket tapes are ideally suited to the specific application.
Selecting the Right Gasket Material
High-performance gaskets must be matched to the specific application. With a range of silicone gasket materials, Polymer Science helps you quickly match the best gasket for your design. Silicone gaskets offer key benefits including:
Compression Set Resistance
Silicone’s resilience is notably exceptional. Its ability to consistently maintain shape, even under significant pressure and across a wide range of temperature extremes, distinctly sets it apart from other gasketing materials. Real-world case studies continually affirm how silicone gaskets excel where others falter.
Vibration Control and Shock Absorption
As more designs feature sensitive components and precise designs, vibration control is paramount. Silicone not only dampens vibrations, but also ensures components remain protected, enhancing lifespan and performance.
Temperature Tolerance and Environmental Resilience
Whether facing extreme freezing cold or intense scorching heat, silicone remains unwaveringly steadfast. Its resistance to harmful UV rays, ozone, and other external elements elevates silicone foam as a top-tier choice for various industrial applications, including automotive and aerospace sectors.
Chemical Resistance and Moisture Barrier
Silicone gaskets offer good chemical resistance, ensuring prolonged durability and safeguarding other components. The hybrid structure of silicone offers a formidable weatherproofing shield, leading to optimal performance come rain or shine.
Industry Applications
As a leader in tapes, coatings, and adhesives since 1998, Polymer Science works with many OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, providing specialized thermal interface materials, EMI shielding and grounding, and adhesives for general industrial applications, like transfer tapes and double-coated film tapes. Polymer Science gasket solutions can be found in a wide range of industries, including:
