Die Cut Film and Fabric
From high-tech synthetic films to traditional cellulose materials, Kelcut experience covers a broad range of options in non-metallic gaskets and other die cut components.
This expertise makes Kelcut a valuable partner for customers seeking the material that best suits the performance needs of a particular application. A few examples from among the complete list of materials Kelcut can offer serves to illustrate the benefits of choosing and successfully using the best material for the job.
- Polyester films including Mylar® and other materials, offer exceptional dielectric strength along with reliable durability at high temperatures. Films are also used in a laminated form with traditional fiber or rubber components.
- Non-asbestos materials offer many of the same advantages of films, especially when bonded with nitrile rubber, graphite or other materials in laminates. The potential results include outstanding creep resistance, high torque retention and good anti-stick properties.
- Cellulose/rubber materials are comprised of a blend of cellulose fibers in a synthetic rubber binder. Ideal for light to medium duty applications that require a compressible material with excellent chemical resistance.
- Coated products products are made from a core material of vulcanized fiber, coated with nitrile (Buna N) rubber. These materials are often used for their superior surface sealing properties.
- Vulcanized fiber transforms traditional cellulose material into a dense, tough substance that resists abrasion and offers mechanical and dielectrical strength.
- Vegetable fiber is a low cost material suitable for many general purposes. A variety of types are available that combine fiber and other binding materials (including, glue-glycerine, cork and fungus-resistant additives) A traditional choice for automotive applications due to its natural resistance to oil and fuels.
