Meta Description
A closed-cell EPDM foam gasket solution for marine equipment covers exposed to moisture, sunlight and repeated maintenance access.
Project Overview
A marine equipment supplier needed a sealing gasket for protective covers installed on deck-mounted equipment.
The covers were exposed to moisture, sunlight and changing weather conditions. They also required regular removal during equipment inspection.
Project Challenge
The gasket needed to provide continuous contact around the cover while remaining flexible enough for repeated opening and closing.
The customer also wanted to reduce installation time and avoid manually joining several short foam strips at the corners.
OKIN Solution
OKIN develope
d a customized EPDM foam gasket based on the cover dimensions.
The gasket was manufactured with a closed-cell structure to support moisture resistance and outdoor sealing. The finished shape reduced the number of joints around the equipment cover.
An adhesive layer was added to hold the gasket in position during cover assembly.
Project Result
The customized gasket improved installation consistency and reduced the need for manual corner joining.
The EPDM foam material provided cushioning and sealing contact between the equipment cover and the supporting frame, making it suitable for repeated maintenance access.
