What is a rubber gasket?

Specially designed rubber gaskets at the joints ensure proper sealing and quick installation. They are specially designed to be encased in foundations such as bored piles, diaphragm walls and barrettes to allow for future testing of the concrete integrity by ultrasonic waves.

Why is rubber gasket important?

Rubber gasket has been one of the most important parts of almost all of our household appliances such as washing machines, coffee makers, coffee mugs and many others. This mechanical seal works really well in preventing all kinds of water leakages or gas leaks from our home appliances.

What are electric vehicle battery gaskets?

Electric vehicle battery gaskets provide environmental sealing and thermal insulation. They may also provide fire protection and shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). EV battery gaskets are made of rubbers, or elastomers, that impart specific properties, such as chemical resistance.

What are EV battery pack gaskets?

The gaskets must seal and insulate the entire battery module and, in turn, protect all of the battery cells. Often, EV battery pack gaskets are made of closed-cell silicone sponge. These EV gaskets need to withstand the heat that’s produced by the battery pack, prevent the passage of gases and liquids, and dampen noise and vibration.

What is the difference between FIP and extruded rubber gaskets?

Form in place (FIP) gaskets are used in high-volume, automated assembly (such as the automotive industry) and require dispensing and curing. Extruded rubber gaskets are used in low-to-medium volumes and for both prototypes and production. They are cut-to-length from rubber extrusions and then molded or bonded.

How do you install an EV battery gasket?

During installation, the EV battery gasket may fit a groove in the battery cover or attach to a flat surface with a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). These adhesives are used with tapes that have a release liner for peel-and-stick installation with light pressure.
