Air-handling units and components require airtightness, decoupling against vibration and must comply with hygienic requirements to operate reliably for a long period of time. In addition, some construction details could require the reduction of mechanical fixings.
In semiconductor fabrication facilities (fabs), HVAC sealing and bonding requirements are much stricter than in typical commercial HVAC systems because any air leakage, particles, or chemical contamination can compromise cleanroom environmental control and reduce production yield.
They require:
• Sealing/Decoupling: Modular component connections, condensation units, ventilation units, heat-exchanger, ducting
• High temperature sealing: heating systems
• Dynamic bonding: housing components, panels
Beside proper sealing against contamination, flexible bonding is the right choice if a reduction of mechanical fixing is required for components or substrates. Applicable areas include:
• Panels and floor connections
• Worktops
• Furniture connections
• Areas where dynamic load transfer between assembled parts is required
Our range of adhesives and sealants offer high performance solutions to support dynamic load transfer of equal or dissimilar building materials, e.g. dynamic bonding of metal sheets and construction panels.
