Silicone anti-dust stopper
Silicone anti-dust stopper can be any size and shape you want. Generally, you know what rubber stoppers look like, but they can also be customized according to your requirements. Silicone anti-dust stopper as its name suggests has a primary role to prevent dust from entering places where it can cause damage. Dust buildup in some high-tech machines, as well as in many other places, can cause malfunctions, overheating, malfunction of cooling fans and much more. And as we know, dust is everywhere, so you have to be careful.
Once you decide you need an anti-dust stopper, you should first measure the hole where the stopper will be installed. Installing a stopper is very simple, it usually requires you to just push it into the hole deep enough and the stopper will perform its functions. No tools are required to install it. However, this is only possible when it is of appropriate size. So measure the place where you will put the silicone anti-dust stopper, and we will make it for you. Unlike some other stoppers that are completely non-functional if they are not the perfect size, an anti-dust stopper will definitely reduce the dust buildup, but if it is smaller or larger than necessary, then it will not be 100% useful.
Stoppers are made of various types of materials, but silicone is the most common choice of our clients, primarily because silicone is so versatile. Silicone is a semi-organic elastomer that is resistant to high and low temperatures, and its chemical stability is at the highest level. It is most commonly used as a sealant, so it is probably the best choice for an anti-dust stopper. In case you want the anti-dust stopper to be made of another material, for example natural rubber which is extremely tear resistant or neoprene which is also great for seals, you can request a change of material.
Stopper & Plug Size Catalog
Compare four stopper profiles and check the selected part dimensions against your opening and available depth. Each profile has its own drawing and dimension meanings.
RST T-Shaped Plugs
Match stem diameter A, flange diameter B, stem length C and flange thickness D. E refers to the underside recess; use the selected row and approved drawing to confirm the actual profile.
RSA Tapered Corks
Compare large-end diameter A, small-end diameter B and Height, in mm. The mating bore and required seating depth determine where the taper contacts the opening.
RSB Undercut Plugs
Compare neck diameter A, flange diameter B, flange-to-lip distance C and flange thickness D. Check panel thickness and rear clearance. E refers to the underside recess.
RSD T-Shaped Stoppers
Compare stem diameter A, flange diameter B, stem length C and head thickness D, in mm. Check the seating surface and available depth as well as the hole diameter.
