Newly certified Bergamid materials also provide the strength, impact resistance and durability that electrical housings, switches and other outdoor electrical demand.
Expanded global formulation ranges are also available with UL746A (resistance to ignition from electrical sources) and UL746B (long-term thermal aging) certifications.

Apparent viscosity’ is the TPE’s resistance to flow.
A ‘high flow’ (low viscosity) formulation gives low resistance to flow.
High viscosity (low flow) means resistance to flow.

The engineers tested the material for shear resistance based on the thickness of the seal.
They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.
