Extrusions vs. Form-in-Place Gaskets
Our engineering team is regularly asked for guidance in determining if an extrusion or a form-in-place (FIP) gasket is a better fit for a particular design. Read this article for guidance on:
- The differences between extrusions and FIP gaskets
- Key considerations when selecting either extrusions or FIP gaskets
6 Applications for Form-in-Place Gaskets
In this post, we take a look at some of the most common industries that put robotically dispensed FIP gaskets to use. Keep reading to learn more about FIP gaskets in:
