1. Proper Size

Determine the correct size of the mounting area

2. Dynamic Range of Compression

Each shield gasket compresses a certain distance depending on the design. A positive contact force can usually be assured after the gaskets are compressed 25% of relaxed height and beyond

3. Attachment Methods

Among Holland Shielding Systems BV standard configuration, are the following :

4. Correct Orientation

Many of the Holland Shielding Systems BV gasket designs depend on the active contact surface (top) being engaged at, or behind, the cross-sectional centreline. To assure the proper angle of engagement, follow the guidelines below for best results

Retaining Lances for Clip-Ons

Most Clip On styles are available with retaining lances which enhance the spring grip onto the mounting surface

Adhesive Tape Specifications

Holland Shielding Systems BV Shielding designs incorporate two types of transfer adhesive tape on many of the gaskets

Instant Tac Adhesive

Application: for areas where both opposing surfaces can be connected by contacting at least one point of the shield gasket profile on each surface.

Temperature range: -50°F ( -46°C ) to + 300°F (+ 149°C )

Conductive Tac Adhesive

Application: for areas where opposing surfaces can be connected by contacting one point of the shield gasket profile on one side and Conductive Tac on the other.

Temperature range: -50°F ( -46°C ) to + 300°F (+ 149°C )
