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

components.
