HITEK ELECTRONIC MATERIALS dispenses Chomerics Cho-Form® and other non-conductive form in place gasketing materials at its factory in Scunthorpe. Dispensed gasketing has several advantages over other forms of gasketing. These are:

  • Upto 60% saving on space, flanges as small as 0.8mm can be gasketed.
  • Shear adhesion to substrates is typically 12N/cm or better.
  • Highly compressible with limited deflection force.
  • Gaskets can be prototyped and shipped within days.
