GASKET SEALING SYSTEMS FOR ENCLOSURE DOORS
An ex-stock range of gasket sealing systems,
optimised for enclosure doors and specialist vehicles, is available from FDB Panel Fittings. These, the company explains, are designed to support
IP-rated protection against dust, water and vibration, as well as electromagnetic interference. A comprehensive selection of gasket profiles is available
from the FDB Online store, in various elastomeric materials including PVC, EPDM, Neoprene, NBR, and foam rubber- PVC combinations. These sections are available primarily in coiled format, enabling efficient handling and on-site customisation. Widths and profiles range from classic P-type sections and edge protectors to clip-on and channel-fitted variants, ensuring compatibility with a variety of door and frame geometries. Several EPDM profiles, offered in collaboration with specialist manufacturers, adhere to Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards, providing the basis for complete UL certification of cabinet assemblies. Extruded and foam-rubber composite sections are designed to maintain shape and integrity under compression, ensuring consistent achievement of sealing performance over multiple cycles. For door systems featuring inspection windows or sharp
frame edges, FDB offers dedicated edge-protection profiles and window glazing gasket solutions, ideal for safeguarding glass panes and preserving enclosure integrity. A specialised line of gasket profiles is also available to
order which integrates EMC/RFI shielding capabilities with standard environmental protection. These profiles allow simultaneous mitigation of electromagnetic interference while maintaining dust- and water-tight performance – a dual-function solution tailored for telecommunications, control cabinets, and secure enclosures. High torque swinghandles and multi-point rod latches complement the gasket systems.
