SEPTEC™
is a septum rivet seal
specially developped by Tec-N-Tec inc. to permit penetration into an insulating
glass unit for quality certification, or to rebalance air pressure created when
moving a insulating glass unit to a different elevation. It also make it
possible to quality units manufacturers to guarantee longer term gas retention
in there windows
A rivet seal that once installed in a panel, has the
characteristics of a septum. After installation with
a standard handheld blind riveter
in a 13/64" (5mm) hole, a needle
(or double/triple needle), wire(s), electrode(s), probe(s) or other, may be
inserted through
the rivet and the septum membrane (thickness = <1/16” (1.5mm)) of the component. This opens the capacity to
add,
remove, or act on a substance(s) inside a cavity, after sealing.
Operations like, multi-chemical processes, gaz, liquid and/or solid
insertion/dosing/removal, anode-cathode reactions and plating, electrical activation, etc., may
be contemplated, investigated, analyzed and tested. SEPTEC is made of an
aluminium eyelet, a hollow steel mandrel and a Dupont® Hytrel® 4069 engineering
thermoplastic elastomer membrane. Only the membrane material is in contact with
the content and wall of the cavity.
