A basic snap-shot of the industries we are accustomed to working
with and some of the typical products and compound formulations
that can be related to a specific industry.
Molded, extruded and fabricated seals and gaskets from compounds that comply with specifications for Low smoke as per ASTM E662, Low flame as per ASTM C542 and Low toxic gas as per Bombardier’s SMP 800-C.
In the food and beverage industry, the most common used material is silicone as it is easily formulated to be NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) and FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Compliant.
Typical energy and utilities compound call outs are UL94 V0, V1 & V2. As well, with solar panels as an example, a crucial stage is the post curing of rubber products to allow for low outgassing, which eliminates unwanted film deposits.
Typical industry rubber products are: extruded sponge profiles and foam stripping as well as dual durometer bulb seals (sponge to solid), all supplied to comply with the necessary specifications per your requirements.
Silicone is the “go to” material of the medical industry. Silicone can be formulated with antimicrobial properties and can be supplied to be USP Class VI compliant where parts are produced in clean room environments.
Genesis can supply rubber products that best suit your indoor and outdoor lighting designs including a material formulation that complies with UL94 V0, V1 & V2.
Extruded dual durometer (sponge to solid) profiles, locking channels, edge trims and an overall vast array of seals and gaskets can be supplied depending on your particular requirements.
Genesis can provide compounds that can be formulated for EMI/RFI shielding (Electromagnetic interference or radio frequency interference), as well as UL94, the flammability standard recommended by Underwriter Laboratories. We can supply to the three different grades of UL94 (V0, V1 & V2) depending on the specific needs of your product.
