PTFE is a very diverse and versatile material being used in a variety of applications including electronic, medical, industrial and many others. PTFE is inert, and what this means is that it is unreactive to most chemicals and extremely heat resistant with temperature limits of 500° F.

Porex porous PTFE materials not only offer excellent thermal, electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties, they also offer superior control over pore size, permeability, water entry pressure, and thickness. These properties make this PTFE an ideal choice for a wide variety of demanding applications requiring a combination of these properties. The primary function of these materials is to provide protection to sealed products from dust and moisture while allowing the enclosure to vent or to allow gas movement while protecting the device.

Engineers have used Porex PTFE membranes to create a wide variety of products, from battery and fuel cell components to key fob vents. If your business has a need for innovations using porous materials, it would be beneficial to talk to an engineer about Porex PTFE membranes for your application.

Other applications for these materials include:

• Sensors
• Automotive Electronics
• Portable Electronics
• Medical Equipment
• Acoustics
• Lighting
• Energy Generation & Storage
• And many more!

Custom Converted Porex PTFE

Porex PTFE materials can be converted in a variety of ways to best suit your specific application. At SRP, we commonly convert these materials using our specialized die cutting equipment. Depending on the application, we can fabricate PTFE in a number of different ways by either die cutting raw material, adding an adhesive backing to parts, supplying parts on a low tack release liner for quick and easy handling, or adding a zoned elastomer to make a custom Porex gasket.

These innovative products can solve many business challenges, as they are durable, long lasting, and designed for applications that require a long life. Contact our engineering and sales teams today to learn more about how Porex PTFE can add innovation and performance to your next project.

Silicone rubber is one of the most versatile materials on the planet. It was first introduced in the 1940’s and has been developed over time to be particularly heat and cold resistant. In addition, silicone rubber is chemical resistant, making it suitable for many applications where it is important that it not be permeated by chemicals.

Today, there are a wide variety of rubber silicone products, including BISCO® silicone foams, as well as silicone rubber both available in rolls. The wide range of choices in silicone rubber allows it to be used in many different industrial applications.

Benefits of BISCO® Rubber Products

BISCO®, one of the most sought after rubber silicone products is extremely versatile. It can be used to make gaskets, heat shields, fire stops, seals, cushions, and insulation. BISCO® is flame retardant and heat resistant, as well as being ozone resistant. It is easily cut into a wide variety of shapes and sizes and is perfect for die cut applications.

If you haven’t tried using BISCO® for your silicone rubber requirements, it may offer a good alternative to the silicone you currently use. Because of its versatility and superior durability, it is widely used in the following industries:

• Food Processing
• Manufacturing
• Medical Devices
• Microelectronics
• Transportation
• HVAC
• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Defense
• Energy

BISCO® is lightweight and extremely easy to fabricate and die-cut. All silicone products can be provided with adhesive lamination for easy application.

See if BISCO® or other silicone rubber products make sense for your business. Call SRP today at (800) 333-6322 to learn more about our wide range of silicone products.

The engineers and development team at SRP are often called in to work with companies struggling with the failure of their current thermal gasket designs.

As with any type of gasket, failure to correctly provide sealing, shock resistance, vibration control and even insulating can result in complete system failure over time. Of course, this can happen at a very slow rate, creating a challenge to pinpoint the specific cause of the leak or enhanced wear and tear on the component, engine or system.

When a thermal gasket fails, there can be significant damage to the rest of the system. As these gaskets are designed to stand up to high heat operating conditions, they are often overlooked as the source of the issue unless they completely breakdown or create a visible leak that can be detected.

Here are some common issues that can cause thermal gasket failure. These will vary based on the specific use of the gasket and also the material that the gasket is made from.

Overheating

While a thermal material is designed to withstand high heat, each has its own range of suitable temperatures for optimal functioning. Exceeding these temperatures, even for short periods of time, will result in early degradation of the gasket material, leading to increased risk of cracking and leaking.

Choosing the right type of gasket material that will be able to withstand not just the typical temperatures but the temperature extremes will be critical in preventing failure.

Pressure

Pressure creates additional stress on the gasket material, particularly when combined with elevated temperatures. Some of the gasket options are designed specifically for their elasticity, allowing them to stretch and contract with changes in pressure on one or both sides of the gasket.

Without this ability, there will be high levels of deformation of the gasket material during operation, another critical cause of failure when operating conditions are not carefully evaluated.

Our team will work with you to determine the characteristics necessary for the specific operating conditions. This will help to extend the life of the product and eliminate gasket failure issues.
