Waterproof Sealings
A small element that prevents leakage
Gasket – a type of sealing, an element of a specific shape and dimensions, placed at the point of connection of other elements to obtain tightness of the connection. Gaskets are used to make static and movement seals. Gaskets allow for „less-than-perfect” mating surfaces on machine parts where they can fill irregularities. Gaskets are commonly produced by cutting from sheet materials.
At Eko-Tech, we produce various shapes and sorts of gaskets elements, also those that are good for watertight seals. For that, we use various materials including PORON®, silicone rubber, and other commonly known materials.
PORON® as a sealing material
People who are familiar with PORON®, know that typically PORON® is not a great watertight gasket material. However, with AquaPro™ that changes. Thanks to continuous innovations in Rogers Corporation, we can offer You the newest addition to the Rogers line of high-performance foam products.
PORON® AquaPro™ family differs from “soft” (41) to “very soft” (37) provides enhanced protection from water ingress due to its water sealing capability and long term performance. The new AquaPro 37 formulation requires the lowest compression force of any PORON water sealing formulation in achieving a tight seal.
