Compressibility, softness, and durability allow BF-1005A to adapt to various environments, making it an ideal choice for sealing outdoor enclosures, protecting electronics from shock and heat, and providing cushioning or vibration isolation for various applications.
Features and Benefits:
- Excellent memory and low stress relaxation reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures due to compression set and softening.
- Softness allows designers to use less force to seal enclosures and still protect their device from the environment.
- High compressibility allows the material to conform to variable width gaps and awkward shapes, thereby allowing engineers more design flexibility.
- Resistance to ultraviolet light, ozone, extreme temperatures, and flame enables consistent performance in all environments.
- BF-1005A has one-side pressure sensitive adhesive.
- Available through distribution sites throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
- FDA compliant in accordance with FDA Regulation 21 CFR 177.2600.
Applications:
- Environmental seals to protect against penetration of dust, moisture, air or light within outdoor enclosures such as lighting fixtures, HVAC units, and electronic cabinets.
- Vibration isolation in electronic components and transportation vehicles.
- Fire retardant thermal insulation.
Installation:
- Available with a pressure-sensitive adhesive on one or two sides to allow easy application to a variety of surfaces.
