Abstract
A gasket is formed by encapsulating a thermally conductive low melting temperature material or core in a plastic skin. The low melting temperature material conforms to the shape of the interface completely filling all voids once heated above its melting temperature. Since the low melting temperature material is encapsulated in a plastic skin, there is no danger of contaminating parts of the assembly. The gasket is easily applied and removed in all applications, is re-usable, and the thickness can be as thin as 0.010 inches.
