The adhesive must interact effectively with the foam or silicone while meeting performance requirements and fitting into the manufacturing process.   That is the focus of the first elective course from the [Enclosure Institute™](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/), featuring 3M™ adhesive expertise and Rogers Corporation foam and silicone materials. In this course, 3M application experts explore properties engineers should evaluate when selecting adhesives and walk through a bonding study they performed using their adhesives and various Rogers Corporation materials. The study examines how different adhesive and foam combinations behave during peel testing. For Marian, the study highlights an important part of enclosure gasket design: **material selection, bonding, and converting should be considered together rather than as separate steps.** *\*Disclaimer: the [Enclosure Institute™](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/) is a free educational resource created by Marian, Inc. and Rogers Corporation to help engineers navigate enclosure sealing with expert guidance.* --- [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-adhesive-insights) Topics: [Foams](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/foams), [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [BISCO Silicone](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/bisco-silicone), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Silicone](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/silicone), [Material selection](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/material-selection), [3M](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/3m), [Automated Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/automated-assembly), [Enclosure Institute](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosure-institute), [Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosures), [Rogers Corporation](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/rogers-corporation), [Material Testing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/material-testing) ## [Application Story: Venting Solution for IP Rated Enclosure](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/venting-for-ip-rated-enclosure) Posted by [Brook Girkin](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/brook-girkin) July 9, 2026 1:23 PM [![Application Story: Venting Solution for IP Rated Enclosure](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/IP%20rated%20enclosure%20vents.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/venting-for-ip-rated-enclosure) Many everyday items have been reimagined as "smart".

By addressing these factors upfront, design engineers can avoid costly redesigns, speed up production, and ensure that their parts meet application requirements. At Marian, our engineers use these questions (and more) to create a fabrication plan tailored to each project. This guide is presented by the Enclosure Institute™. For a deeper dive, explore the extended blog on the Rogers website, [*Top 8 Best Practices You Need to Know for Enclosure Die-Cut Gaskets*](https://www.rogerscorp.com/blog/2025/top-8-best-practices-you-need-to-know-for-enclosure-die-cut-gaskets), along with the[ video](https://youtu.be/C2R3murkcf8?si=3q5EoTBrMyEh2_r1) below hosted by Marian's own Phil Taylor and Jimmy Budd. In these resources, you'll learn how starting with the right gasket design can optimize geometry to balance sealing force, fasteners, and load distribution. You'll also see why selecting manufacturing methods that align with production scale is critical for efficiency. Assembly features such as pull-tabs, locating holes, and specialized adhesives help streamline installation and minimize errors. Finally, packaging and delivery strategies play an often-overlooked role in protecting gasket integrity while making assembly faster and more reliable. *\*Disclaimer: The [Enclosure Institute™](https://marianinc.com/enclosure-institute/) is a free educational resource created by Marian, Inc. and Rogers Corporation to help engineers navigate enclosure sealing with expert guidance.* --- [Read More](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/enclosure-gasket-fabrication-guide) Topics: [Foams](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/foams), [Manufacturing](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/manufacturing), [BISCO Silicone](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/bisco-silicone), [PORON](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/poron), [Material selection](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/material-selection), [Die Cutting](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/die-cutting), [Automated Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/automated-assembly), [Gasket](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/gasket), [Assembly](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/assembly), [Enclosure Institute](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosure-institute), [Seals](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/seals), [Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/enclosures), [Rogers Corporation](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/topic/rogers-corporation) ## [Sealed Devices: Venting Solutions for IP Rated Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/sealed-devices) Posted by [Katie Sullivan](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/author/katie-sullivan) December 11, 2019 10:00 AM [![Sealed Devices: Venting Solutions for IP Rated Enclosures](https://blog.marianinc.com/hubfs/IPRatedApp-Story.jpg)](https://blog.marianinc.com/blog/sealed-devices) ### IP Rated Enclosures: Venting Solutions Sensors, controllers, and other electronic elements are being integrated into devices across virtually every industry. Many of these products are made for use in conditions where they may be exposed to extreme temperatures, rain, wind, dust, and moisture.
