OxySeal® Pressure Compensation Units
Easy Plug & Play Solution for Various Types of Enclosures
To prevent the ingress of oily liquids, water, dust, dirt, salts, or other contaminants into your electronics, OxySeal® pressure compensation units can be deployed as an easy plug-and-play venting solution for housings having inverted cylindrical openings. Using hydrophobic track-etched membranes, these injection molded plugs – which can also be treated to be oleophobic – are composed with a thermoplastic elastomer seal that does not require an additional anchor or fastener to ensure a tight fit.
Beyond its standard portfolio, OxySeal® can also be fully customizable. This includes selection of the dimensions, shape, and membrane properties specific to your application’s requirements.
