How do I determine which is the correct density level for my gasketing?
The correct density is determined by a handful of variables that exist at individual locations. They include the strength of the vacuum system you are using, the weight of the substrate that you are routing, how much gasketing you are using, even factors like the altitude and humidity at your location. Luckily, if we ever prescribe the incorrect density level there are only two ways we can be wrong: its either too stiff or too firm. You want your gasketing to be dense enough to recover time after time. If it flattens out too quickly, it needs to be firmer. On the other hand, if the gasketing does not compress and seal when the vacuum is engaged, it is acting like a platform and needs to be softer. Most customers use our medium density (CR and CRS series). Those with lower volume vacuum systems (less then 6-7 horse power) may opt for the low density (CE series). And customers working with very heavy weight materials (such as stone, aluminum, thick wood products) may use our firm density
