Heat Seal Benefits
The combination of metal and silicone pieces working together is a powerful tool for providing superior seals.
Silicone is an excellent tool for conveying heat and pressure and has the “give” needed to achieve complete contact even with irregular surfaces- providing a wider production window.
Consistent quality seals lead to better production yields and reduced scrap rates.
