Compared to manufacturing processes for other sealing technologies, what advantages are inherent in the way Select-a-Seal REC gaskets are made?
Interface Solutions employs a unique, patented manufacturing process in a new QS-registered facility, where products meet the highest standards of quality control. Compared to manufacturing processes for some other sealing technologies, the Select-a-Seal production process does not require the costly, time-consuming creation of dies or tooling. For example, in round figures, the production tooling cost for a Select-a-Seal REC gasket is about $5,000 compared to as much as $40,000 for a rubber-on-metal product and $100,000 for a rubber-edged-metal system. Other competitive advantages result because Select-a-Seal REC gaskets are processed in large quantities, and polymers are applied to the edges of gasket apertures by coating rather than molding. A gasket with more than one sealing aperture can be coated with a different sealing polymer on each aperture – up to three kinds of polymer on one gasket – allowing one gasket to provide optimum sealing against a variety of fluids.
