A seal’s true value isn’t in how it looks on day one, but in whether it still protects your enclosure years later under heat, moisture, and mechanical stress. This Enclosure Institute™ article breaks down five core tests engineers can use to validate long-term gasket reliability: compression set, stress relaxation, thermal cycling, chemical resistance, and IP ingress protection.
Check out the extended blog on the Rogers website, How To Validate Enclosure Seal Reliability Through 5 Tests, and the video below.
