Sealing Materials For Energy And Solar

Effective sealing materials for the energy and solar sector are essential for preventing dust or moisture from seeping into a component. Any seepage could cause the component to suffer from damage or even failure, often resulting in costly replacement fees. At CB Frost, we ensure that we carefully choose the appropriate enclosure and gasket materials for the relevant seal design to ensure that the seal is effective for a long period of time.

Solar panels need durable seals, gaskets and other associated rubber products in order to withstand the range of weather conditions that it will come in to contact with and CB Frost can provide the perfect materials for this function.

When selecting the optimum material for a seal used in the energy sector, the following points must be taken into consideration:

Compressibility
Environmental exposure
Sealing effectiveness
Non-fogging capability
