Swedish satellite company finds alternative to expensive o-rings

The challenge: high costs and time-consuming processes

A customer came to us with a request: to find an efficient alternative to their expensive gasket solution.

The assembly has such complex geometries that they had to use an o-ring cord for it to seal properly.

This was a process where they cut the thin gasket cord and fitted it manually. It was labor-intensive and expensive.

The solution is liquid gasket

With a gasket dispenser, a liquid gasket is laid directly on the component. This gives an even gasket and a reliable sealing. In the process, the thickness of the gasket must be considered as well. It cannot be too thin or thick for the assembly to seal completely.

Laying a liquid gasket is less time-consuming because most manual steps are cut out. Furthermore, only the exact needed material is used for the gasket.

Liquid gasket in short

  • Cost-effective alternative – Replaces expensive o-ring cord while maintaining quality.
  • Simplified assembly – Eliminates the need for manual cutting and fitting, saving time and effort.
  • Reliable sealing – Provides a durable and efficient seal that meets the customer’s and industry standards.
Liquid gasket is a great solution for complex geometries
