Advantages
- A consistent hardness and force-to-compress across a broad range of application temperatures, limiting the number of gaskets you need to stock.
- Good adhesion to a variety of surfaces for easy installation.
- Supplied in high quality packaging for fast installation, easy storage and reduced waste.
Applications
Q-205 is used as a non-compression glazing for a variety of products including small to medium sized door lites and windows. It is also used as a compression gasket within ductwork. Q-205 has the widest range of application temperatures of any competitive material ensuring a positive seal and ease of application under extreme conditions. This product has also been submitted to an extremely broad range of chemicals, producing a library of chemical sensitivity and resistance data. Q-205 has good adhesion to PVC and wood, as well as Galvanized, Galvalume®, Aluminized, and Stainless Steel metals.
