Situation:

An electrical cabinet manufacturer in India was having problems with leaking window gaskets that allow corrosion to streak the paint finish.

Substrates: Steel || Float Glass

Challenges:

The client was facing the following problems with the existing solution:

  • Compression set in cork window gaskets allows moisture leaks to corrode cabinet frames
  • Rust streaks from thin paint coatings over cut metal edges lowers product quality appearance
  • High inventory costs to maintain cork gaskets for a wide variety of cabinet window applications

Solution:

The client needed an adhesive that bonds and seals glass to painted metal doors and also withstands long term weather exposure and TEROSTAT MS 930 was recommended. The Henkel solution resolves paint streaking issue by supplying a superior window adhesive and sealant. Inventories of multiple gaskets and glass fasteners are reduced as well.

Results:

  • Terostat MS 930 bonds the glass to the frame eliminating previous window mounting hardware
  • A compression set resistant glass seal prevents rust streaking that previously damaged the paint finish
  • Improved long term exterior appearance now matches the company's reputation for product quality
