These are some basic points and questions to bear in mind for the engineer when researching their project. Although they are straight forward, sometimes even the project team will not have addressed these issue in any depth. T-Global is able to offer additional value at this time by bringing their depth of knowledge and value driven solutions to the end user so as to obtain a solution with the lowest possible cost of ownership. For example if the mechanical gaps between the component and the housing has not been finalized, T-Global can advise on the design with the comprehensive T-Global product thickness ranges in mind. T-Global will also provide comprehensive support in terms of samples, literature and test reports to assist the customer in making an informed choice. One thing to address is that the temperature range of the non- silicone materials is lower than silicone counterparts. It is important that the end user understands this and fully comprehends that testing is the most effective way to prove that the materials are adequate for use in the final application.
