gelsealed
Gelsealed is a term used in some engineering and packaging contexts to describe a sealing method that uses gel-like materials to create a barrier. It is not widely standardized, and definitions can vary by field. Generally, a gelseal involves applying a gel or gel-form polymer to joints or housings, after which the material cures or cross-links to form an elastic, watertight seal.
Materials used in gelseals include silicone-, polyurethane-, or acrylate-based gels. Formulations are designed to achieve appropriate
Applications cited in niche sources include sealing enclosures for electronics and sensors, waterproofing connectors, and potting
Advantages of gel seals include good gap filling, conformability to complex geometries, and vibration damping. They
