Enclosure Sealing for EV Charging Stations
While the number of EV charging station installations are increasing, it’s critical to keep them operating reliably in order to meet the growing demand of EV drivers and fleet operators. Since many installations are outdoors, they require durable prevention from corrosion and reliable protection from extreme environments. Our closed-cell compressible foam tapes provide quick and accurate assembly, fast curing time, no squeezing or oozing and permanent sealing against water, dirt and air. These materials remain flexible through hot and cold climates, enabling the serviceability of the enclosures.
