| Small flat gaskets are produced from moulded sheet using economic rule dies. Larger gaskets can be cut from moulded or fabricated picture frames. This option has the advantage of saving material and allows larger gaskets to be produced economically. Fabricated frames use either extruded or moulded flat section that is joined by vulcanising the polymer. The same conductive polymer compound is used to vulcanise the joins, ensuring complete electrical conductivity is maintained across the joint. This process has allowed Kemtron to produce gaskets up to 2 metres long, with the same mechanical and electrical integrity as is found in a single part gasket cut from sheet. |
