In addition to Silicone (VMQ), two materials commonly employed for molding electrical connectors are Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) and Heat Cured Rubber (HCR). This article explores the notable qualities of LSR and HCR and their respective uses in automotive gasket manufacturing.
Read MoreAt Morgan Polymer Seals, we perform two critical types of leak testing to help support quality manufacturing for our automotive OEMs: Pressure Decay Testing and Destructive Testing. Here’s a description of both methods, followed by a video that shows leak testing at our manufacturing sites in Mexico.
Read MoreCompression transfer molding and compression molding are related processes, but they are not the same. However, compression transfer molding can be considered a variation of compression molding with some key differences. Let's clarify the distinctions between these two processes, and watch a video that shows our compression transfer molding process in action.
Read MoreElastomer grommets and fastener seals are critical components in automotive design, providing sealing and vibration-damping solutions in various applications. This article explores the definition, applications, benefits, and advantages of elastomer grommets and fastener seals in the automotive industry. Additionally, it presents a selection of high-performance elastomer types commonly used for these purposes.
Read MoreElastomer PIP automotive gaskets are specialized sealing solutions designed to provide effective sealing under challenging conditions in automotive applications. These gaskets are typically made of elastomeric materials, commonly known as rubber, which exhibit excellent elasticity, resilience, and chemical resistance.
