Market: Aerospace/Defense
Material: Silicone, Fabric, and Polyester
Detail: This part requires three unique materials to be compression molded into one compete gasket. The fabric outer layer is used to reduce the part’s co-efficient of friction and to increase useful life. Silicone is used to handle temperature extremes and the rigid polyester base is used to prevent seal pullout from its housing. This seal is manufactured utilizing special molds and long presses to conform to the tight tolerances required for this application.
