HI-TAK® Conductive Specialty Gaskets
Av-DEC’s pre-cured polyurethane conductive specialty materials were developed to meet the customer needs and requirements of the application. They are also designed for use as an environmental sealant while providing a low electrical resistance path. The flexible nature of this system provides for easy access for inspection or repair long after the original application. The system demonstrates excellent cohesion after installation, and provides a high degree of environmental protection, while still allowing for easy removal. The information pictured and listed in this brochure is just a sampling of products available. Please contact us with your specific needs.
Current Applications:
- Connector Gaskets
- Mounting Pad Gaskets
- Fuel Access Panel Gasket
- Static Discharge Retainer Gasket
