Why is the gasket critical in an electrical cabinet?

Because it protects electrical and electronic components from dust and moisture, preventing insulation failures, corrosion and equipment malfunction, which directly affect safety and operational continuity.

Does the gasket guarantee a specific IP rating?

The gasket contributes to perimeter sealing, but the IP rating is determined on the complete enclosure in accordance with IEC 60529, considering design, assembly and closure system.

Why choose silicone foam instead of conventional rubber?

Silicone foam offers superior thermal stability, reduced ageing and more consistent elastic recovery under prolonged compression, helping to maintain sealing performance over time.

How does compression set affect sealing performance?

Excessive compression set reduces contact pressure over time, creating potential leakage paths. Selecting a material with low compression set is essential for long-term sealing reliability.

Can profiles be manufactured for specific cabinet designs?

Yes. Foam profiles can be custom-designed and manufactured to match the geometry of cabinet doors or frames, ensuring proper integration and sealing.
