What is What is an FIP Gasket??

A form-in-place gasket is created by dispensing a liquid gasket onto a metal or plastic part before assembly. Because it is dispensed as a liquid, it fits precisely to the part’s form, regardless of housing imperfections. This results in a reliable seal and durable finished product.

Small Bead FIP: Breaking the Bead Size Boundaries of Form-In-Place Gaskets

Many of our Defense partners are challenging the boundaries of technology daily. As technology advances, electronics and devices are shrinking in size to accommodate more complex project designs–simply put, they require more technology in less space. It pays to have a manufacturing part who is willing to push the boundaries.
