Faced with rapidly evolving regulations on PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), Getelec, an expert in EMC sealing and electromagnetic shielding solutions, is innovating with the launch of its GT5068 bi-material technical seal. This breakthrough product anticipates the gradual ban on PFAS in France, initiated by Law No. 2025-188 of February 27, 2025, effective January 1, 2026, offering manufacturers a sustainable, high-performance alternative to traditional fluorosilicones.
Why the urgency of PFAS-free alternatives?
French legislation, driven by environmental and health imperatives, aims to drastically limit the use of PFAS, known for their persistence and negative impacts. Although fluorosilicones are not always explicitly named, they fall within the scope of this law, making their use increasingly restricted. The industry is therefore facing a major challenge: developing innovative, environmentally friendly solutions that comply with the new standards.
Faced with this regulatory challenge, Getelec offers a concrete solution with the GT5068 bi-material gasket, a technical solution that combines the best of two materials:
This unique design separates the sealing and shielding functions, offering unparalleled versatility for corrosive environments.
Getelec guarantees the superior quality of GT5068 thanks to a state-of-the-art salt bath extrusion line, capable of producing up to 200 kg/hour. This continuous vulcanization process ensures:
Optimal thermal homogeneity of the materials.
Impeccable surface quality.
Superior mechanical properties for optimal performance.
This advanced technology enables large-scale production with reduced lead times.
GT5068 is also available in custom formats as molded, die-cut, bonded, or sheet gaskets.
