What strategies are open to Interface Solutions engineers to allow them to customize Select-a-Seal RECs for specific applications?
Besides being able to apply as many as three different polymers to the same gasket, Interface Solutions’ REC approach to sealing provides additional freedom to engineers to design seals for specific applications. Since different applications have different features (flange stiffness, bolt loading, internal pressure, etc.), demands on the base carrier differ from application to application. Select-a-Seal applications engineers analyze the stresses in each joint and choose the base carrier with the optimum combination of cost and physical properties (compression, tensile strength, surface friction, etc.
