Intertronics has released a new moisture-resistant gasketing resin from Dymax for sealing electrical conduit boxes, appliance housings, and critical electronic assemblies and devices. Ultra Light-Weld GA-111 is a UV/Visible light-curable form-in-place (FIP) gasket developed for applications requiring low compression set, tack-free surface, and durable, reliable sealing. It is a soft gasket material with high adhesion to metals while providing a barrier to prevent absorption or penetration of air, dust, moisture, liquids and gaseous substances.
DYMAX FIP gaskets cure completely in seconds even in 6mm thick beads. This removes the need for racking, stacking, waiting, and un-racking as required with traditional FIP gaskets. Designed for flat flanges or wide shallow grooves, permanent FIP gaskets can eliminate the delay experienced with slow-curing resins as well as the design, inventory, and labour expense associated with pre-cut gaskets. These gaskets cure faster and deeper than UV silicone, and do not release corrosive chemical by-products upon cure.
