Sealing gaskets may not be on top of your mind when buying a new fridge or a microwave, but if they fail, the appliance underperforms, wastes energy and releases odors - this poor performance can let a brand’s reputation down.
Designers and manufacturers of such electrical appliances know that sealing components such as gaskets are in fact essential to successful design and long-term performance - and that attention to detail when it comes to the reliability of such components is key.
Dow Elastomers supports appliance designers and manufacturers with solutions for sealing gaskets that support development of materials which help to deliver durability to meet the demands of busy households, flexibility to cater for different design demands, and low odor for a more pleasant atmosphere.
Such solutions help to provide alternatives to traditionally-used materials, and open up the increased potential for recycling options that today’s brand owners, manufacturers and consumers are demanding.
