In general form-in-place dispensing may be a good choice for the following situations:
Get custom-engineered gaskets designed specifically for your application's unique requirements, manufactured with tight tolerances for perfect sealing every time.
Convert raw materials into precise components with our FIP Dispensing capabilities that deliver consistent quality at production volumes.
FIP dispensing is often required to fully test and prototype devices with complex gaskets adhered directly to metal housing.
FIP Dispensing is commonly used to manage EMI interference in metal housings on devices used across many different technology categories.
We can work with 1,000s of materials, and we have strategically built partnerships with industry leaders to deliver on your designs faster and with reduced costs.
The Modus engineering team created a custom solution for dispensing small bead FIP using standard materials available in the US to help a customer replace a proprietary material from a supplier that wasn't supporting their needs.

It also has further-reaching implications in your assembly process and, ultimately, in your part cost and speed to market.
This article is meant to help provide some insight into the thought process we put behind helping make this determination on a design by design basis.

You'll want a partner that has the experience, quality systems, and trained personnel to get it right the first time.
Comparing material costs between FIP and other options isn't an apples to apples comparison. FIP offers a turnkey product which reduces your internal labor costs to install the gasket.
A quote for an FIP gasket will include both the cost of the material itself as well as the cost to dispense it onto the part. Keep in mind the resulting reduction in labor costs you'll have internally as it will remove a step in your assembly process.
