What is Gasketing?
Also known as “form in place” or FIP, this application dispenses one or two-part liquids into a groove or onto a flange that will cure to form a seal against liquid and gases. This automated process eliminates the task of assembling a die cut or pre-made gasket. Additionally, geometries can easily be modified for other designs.
When to Use Gasketing
Using a gasketing process is ideal for components that require a reliable seal from external contaminants such as water, temperature, debris, and UV. Utilizing a FIP gasket process is ideal for components with complex designs. Using a dispensing machine to install a gasket significantly decreases assembly time and reduces wasted material.
