The electrical enclosure gaskets & seals protect electronic components inside electrical enclosures from external elements, like weather conditions, and keep electrical hazards out of the enclosure. The right gasket will ensure the perfect seal for outdoor and indoor enclosures that can last the item's lifetime.
ENSURING THE PROPER PERFORMANCE OF AN ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE GASKET
The most significant element of a gasket for an electrical enclosure is making sure that the gasket complies with particular requirements for the application. Most electrical enclosures have to meet certain kinds and ratings, such as NEMA, UL, and IP (Ingress Protection).
To pass these inspections, it is necessary to think about the following issues:
- Temperature - What temperature range is needed?
- Location Will the application be outdoor or indoor?
- UV Resistance - Will the material be exposed directly?
- Fire Resistance - Does the material need a specific flame rating?
- Outgassing of materials - Will the outgassing be harmful to electronic components?
- Gap Spacing - What is the gap size to be filled with the gasket?
- The Gasket's Function: What type of protection must the gasket offer? (air, liquid, vibration?)
MATERIAL SELECTION FOR CUSTOM ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE GASKETS
If you can answer the above questions, the selection of materials procedure will become easier. There are many options for achieving the ideal seal for enclosures. In particular, about gasket performance, It is easy for manufacturers to recommend a product that exceeds the specifications and results in higher expenses. Choosing the most cost-effective solution to every situation is essential while still delivering optimal performance.
Common materials used to make the creation of custom-designed electrical enclosure seals are the following:
- Closed Cell Sponge Rubber (Neoprene, EPDM, Nitrile, PVC, SBR)
- Cellular Urethane
- Polyethylene
- PORON(r) Polyurethane
- BISCO(r) Silicone
All materials are in a bonded adhesive with an adhesive that is pressure sensitive in the event of need.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN UNDERPERFORMING SEAL?
- The cost of gaskets for replacement and the ongoing maintenance that comes with gasket replacement
- The enclosure could be removed from the rating.
- Cost of electronic components that are damaged inside an enclosure
- The most common cause of systemic errors is damaged electrical components
- Quality concerns from enclosure makers

The global gaskets and seals market size is expected to reach USD 74.2 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 3.7% from 2018 to 2025, according to a new report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Increasing demand for these products in fluid transfer applications in semi-conductor manufacturing is expected to drive the overall market growth.
Gaskets and seals are critical components in complex mechanical systems in the manufacturing sector to reduce environmental impact and prevent personal injuries due to fugitive emissions.
Thus, the rising environmental concerns owing to industrial emissions, coupled with implications of stringent emission standards, is expected to positively influence the market growth.
The industry exhibits a minimal threat of substitution due to unavailability of commercially viable alternatives for sealing solutions.
However, rapidly rising penetration of Form-In-Place (FIP) gaskets in automotive and electronic manufacturing is expected to result in the internal substitution of their metal counterparts across applications.
Further key findings from the report suggest: • The gaskets segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 4.0% from 2018 to 2025 owing to the rising product demand in the chemical processing industry to address environment concerns regarding emissions and to enhance industrial efficiency • Seals amounted to a revenue of USD 34.2 billion in 2018 due to high product demand in microelectronics and semi-conductor processing applications in the growing electrical and electronics industry • The demand for gaskets and seals in the automotive industry is expected to value USD 26.6 billion by 2025 on account of their extensive use in the production and assembly of powertrain, chassis, exhaust manifolds, and other components • The market in China makes the largest revenue contribution to the Asia Pacific gasket market, accounting for more than 55.0% of the share in 2018.
