Schlegel EMI Brings Their Expertise in Sealing Gaskets to New Markets with PolyFab

Schlegel Electronic Materials, renowned for its high-quality EMI shielding gaskets, is pleased to announce the new PolyFab line for sealing.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - July 14, 2020 -- The PolyFab line brings to the marketplace foam, PP TPE and Dual Extrusion gaskets that meet a wide range of applications. From windows and doors to cubicles and other building and product projects, the PolyFab products provide a consistent quality unsurpassed in the industry.

The PolyFab gaskets are highly engineered using the same trusted technology as Schlegel’s core EMI parts. Katherine McGee, PolyFab senior account manager, said, “We’re pleased to make the PolyFab line available. It fills a market need we’ve been hearing about over the years. Now, any customer, large or small, knows there is a reliable source of high-quality gasket material to meet their weatherstripping and sealing product needs.“ Katherine said, “Schlegel EMI already had the expertise and necessary manufacturing operations, so; it was a perfect opportunity to support a new industry.”

With so much shakeup among manufacturers in the weatherstripping seal industry, medium-to-small sized customers are relieved to see Schlegel, the gasket powerhouse, fill the void.

The applications for the PolyFab compression seal products are limitless. PolyFab ensures that companies that prioritize quality in their work have a choice in the marketplace. PolyFab has been especially popular among manufacturers of custom windows and doors. Their end-users expect the best, so those manufacturers depend on superior parts. The feedback from customers about PolyFab products in these and other industries has been exceptional.
