UV Curing Form-In-Place and Cure-in-Place Gaskets
Using form-in-place and cure-in-place gaskets as opposed to die cut gaskets reduces the cost of production and allows for easy repairs and changes to the shape of the gasket.Master Bond manufactures a number of form-in-place and cure-in-place gaskets that adhere to glass, plastics, ceramics and metals. These formed-in-place gaskets will seal complex assemblies, prevent leakage and protect against damage from vibration, shock and impact.
