🔒 New Case Study: Low Compression Force IP65 Sealing Solution

Achieving IP65 protection wasn’t the only challenge in this Air Compressor and industrial enclosure application.

The sealing solution also needed to operate within a restricted mounting system where excessive compression force could prevent the HMI unit from installing correctly.

Working closely with the customer during the prototype phase, Silicone Engineering helped guide the project towards a production-ready sealing solution using expanSil™ GP200 closed-cell silicone sponge.

The result:
✔ Low compression force sealing
✔ IP65 / NEMA 4 protection
✔ Closed-cell silicone sponge performance
✔ Support from concept through to production

The case study also explores the differences between silicone sponge and traditional EPDM materials in demanding enclosure sealing applications.
