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.
FIP gaskets are dispensed using CNC machines. The process is so precise that surfaces less than one millimeter wide can still receive FIP gasket application. FIP gaskets are a cost-effective, accurate, and easy sealant solution, particularly in cases where a very small, narrow or complex gasket is required.
Form-in-place gaskets are used in virtually every industry due to their precision, and durability. FIP is most commonly selected for applications like:
