Vinyl is a flexible material. When used as the material
for a cap or plug, it provides a much better seal
and will not crack or shred like hard plastic closures.
-
For
threaded applications, vinyl caps and plugs will
not shred and leave residue in the very part that
they are trying to protect from contamination.
-
Vinyl can be made in more vibrant colors.
-
The flexibility of vinyl caps makes them easy to
install while the airtight seal that they provide
keeps them in place once they are on.
-
Vinyl withstands high temperatures and can often
be used as an alternative to more expensive rubber
caps in paint masking applications.
-
Vinyl has a greater chemical resistance than most
other plastics making it the perfect cap material
for plating applications.
-
Vinyl is a naturally insulative material making
vinyl caps and plugs the ideal choice for closures
that are going to be used in electrical applications.
-
Due to the unique molding process used to make vinyl
caps, engineers can specify vinyl caps in almost
any length without incurring tooling charges.
-
Vinyl
formulations can be made to achieve a wide variety
of textures and chemical properties.
