This two-part blog series explores a critical topic: why enclosure gaskets and seals fail. In part 1, we'll focus on material-related issues that can compromise sealing performance before the product is ever assembled.
Seals and gaskets protect enclosures from moisture, dust, chemicals, and temperature extremes. However, not all materials perform equally under different conditions.
From environmental considerations to material compatibility and long-term durability, here are eight helpful insights into designing seals that stand the test of time.
Enclosures are essential in industrial, electrical, and electronic applications by protecting critical components from environmental hazards and ensure safe, reliable performance. From shielding sensitive electronics against dust, water, or extreme conditions to preventing costly failures, designing the right enclosure is vital.
At the heart of every reliable enclosure lies one critical component: the seal. Whether protecting sensitive electronics from environmental hazards or enhancing the long-term performance of a system, the seal serves as the first line of defense. Its effectiveness is critical to the functionality and longevity of enclosure systems.
