Die Cutting and Gasket Manufacturing

 

Die Cutting and Gasket Manufacturing Materials Overview
What plastics are used in die-cutting applications?
  • Polyethylene (PE): PE is a lightweight, flexible plastic often used to make jigs and fixtures in manufacturing. PE is durable, resistant to moisture and chemicals, and can be easily machined into various shapes.
  • Polypropylene (PP): PP is a versatile plastic used in manufacturing jigs and fixtures due to its excellent chemical resistance and high strength. PP can be machined and molded into various shapes and sizes.
  • Acetal (POM): Acetal is a strong and durable plastic used to manufacture jigs and fixtures requiring high precision and tight tolerances. Acetal has a low coefficient of friction and excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for applications that require sliding or rotating components.
  • Polycarbonate (PC): PC is a strong and impact-resistant plastic used to manufacture tools and dies requiring high precision and tight tolerances. PC has excellent dimensional stability and can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for applications that require thermal resistance.
  • Nylon (PA): Nylon is a durable plastic used to manufacture jigs and fixtures that require high strength and wear resistance. Nylon is a versatile plastic that can be machined, molded, and extruded into various shapes and sizes.

What plastics are used in gasket manufacturing?
  • Polyurethane (PU): PU is a versatile plastic used to manufacture gaskets, seals, and packing materials. PU is durable, flexible, and resistant to abrasion and chemicals.
  • Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM): EPDM is a synthetic rubber commonly used to manufacture gaskets and seals. EPDM has excellent chemical resistance and can withstand exposure to ozone, weathering, and UV light.
  • Fluoroelastomers (FKM): FKM is a class of high-performance plastics that are used to manufacture gaskets and seals that require resistance to extreme temperatures and chemicals. FKM offers excellent resistance to oil, fuel, and solvents.
  • Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): PTFE is a fluoropolymer used to manufacture gaskets and seals that require high-temperature and chemical resistance. PTFE is non-stick and has low friction, making it suitable for applications requiring low friction and adhesion resistance.
  • Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE): TPEs are a class of materials that combine the properties of rubber and plastic. TPEs are often used in the manufacturing of gaskets due to their flexibility, durability, and resistance to chemicals and weathering.
