Compression-Set in Coated Closed Cell Alternates |
Coated, closed
cell foams are sometimes offered as alternates or equals to
precompressed impregnated foam sealants. Compression set
limits their performance. |

Independent Tests--FTIR and DSC--in certifying absence of wax in
composition of EMSEAL pre-compressed foam sealants |
Fournier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Differential
Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) testing conducted by an independent
laboratory is a simple way to determine if the pre compressed
foam sealant being considered contains wax that might be
deleterious to performance.
