+ | |||
+ | It is a **SEBS** film made by Dutch company [[https://vreeberg.nl/en/sebs-film/|Vreeberg]]. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Sealing ===== | ||
+ | Able to seal using [[soft-robotics:heat-sealers:pfs-300|PFS-300]] impulse heat sealer. | ||
+ | Current configuration: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **TIME**: 6 | ||
+ | * **PRESSURE**: Snap hit and keep pressure with my forearm, not whole body. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Gluing ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Have tried many glues of all types. including a silicone sealant and Loctite 401 recommended on [[https://dm.henkel-dam.com/is/content/henkel/lt-2662a-brochure-design-guide-for-bonding-rubber-and-thermoplastic-elastomers-volume-3-2011|Henkel's design guide]]. It could glue to a PU (polyurethane tube, recommended type by Vreeerg), but the glue always disintegrated part of the film which made it weaker eventually under high pressure. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Best solution I found so far is **Zip-Ties**. | ||
