  • Glazing Materials (Constr.)
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
CONT

Gaskets for Glazing. Structural gaskets, made of preformed and cured elastomeric materials, may be used instead of sash for some applications to hold glass in places. Gaskets are extruded in a single strip, molded into the shape of the window perimeter and installed against the glass and window frames. A continuous locking strip of harder elastomer is then forced into one side of the gasket as a final sealing component. Fit and compression of the gasket determine weathertightness. With proper installation, calking is not ordinarily required; but should it be necessary, sealants are available that are compatible with the material of which the gasket is made. [See] fig. 13-31, structural gasket glazing.

OBS

glazing: The action of ... filling windows with glass.

Record 5 2009-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Doors, Windows and Openings (Building Elements)
CONT

BRUSH STRIP SEALS. The versatility of brush strip and ease of installation makes it particularly suitable for sealing difficult applications such as sliding, revolving, pivot and roll-up doors against smoke, odours, draughts, dust, insects and light, and for the retention of air conditioning. Brush strip sealing is recognised as solving draught problems where heavy-duty use is required in areas such as public transport applications. Tests have proven that minimal wear occurs with prolonged use to either brush or contact surfaces. Dense black nylon bristles are locked into a galvanised steel strip, which is then generally fitted into an aluminium holder. The aluminium holder will take all bristle lengths, and the adhesive PVC foam tape is standard on most aluminium holders.

Record 7 1993-06-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Techniques
CONT

Hot melt sealing : In this sealing method, either a continuous strip or dots of molten thermoplastic material is applied between the two surfaces to be sealed, just before they are pressed together. The hot melt contains sufficient heat to cause it to adhere to the package members to be sealed together, and the package members have the heat absorbing capacity to chill the seal before pressure is relieved.

OBS

This method is useful where directly applied heat might damage the packaging materials to be sealed together, or where a second pressure-cooling step might otherwise be required. Hot melts can also supply special interfacial properties, such as peelability.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Techniques d'emballage
CONT

Scellage par colle thermofusible. On dépose sur les surfaces à sceller un thermoplastique fondu, sous forme de points ou en lignes continues et on presse les surfaces l'une contre l'autre. La quantité de chaleur emmagasinée dans la colle est suffisante pour effectuer le scellage. L'absorption de chaleur par les surfaces permet le refroidissement.
