Rampf20819The developer and manufacturer of customized plastic systems based on polyurethane, epoxy and silicone Rampf polymer Solutions presents its powerful portfolio in-situ-Seals for automotive and vehicle construction. These are used, among other things, in brake lights, headlights or ventilation grilles. In contrast to inserted or directly glued on seals, in-situ seals - Formed In Place Gaskets (FIPG) / Formed In Place Foam Gaskets (FIPFG) - are used with Mixing and dosing systemn applied and stick without additional tape.

The sealing systems adapt optimally to the respective component and lie stress-free in the groove. The chemical properties are tailored to the respective requirements.

The automatic application of the Liquid seal A reliable and long-term tightness is achieved without coupling points and gluing, since the non-detachable seal is firmly connected to the component. Further advantages of the FIPFG / FIPG technology offer accelerated and simplified manufacturing and assembly processes and there is no need to invest in tools. In addition, changed components can be flexibly adapted using NC or robot technology. Color, shape and geometry can be designed as desired.

Omnipresent in the vehicle: Polyurethane and silicone seals

Rampf10819In the automotive and automotive industries FIPFG / FIPG seals used in numerous applications with a wide variety of requirement profiles and sealing geometries, including in door and door lock modules, loudspeaker boxes, airbag, air conditioning and glove box covers, brake lights, headlights, rear lights, electrical housings, ignition coil covers, fuse boxes, ventilation grilles and water boxes.

With seals off Polyurethane "Raku PUR" and silicone "Raku SIL" from Rampf Polymer Solutions provide these applications with reliable and long-term protection against moisture, water, dust and chemical influences. In addition, the emission regulations and NVH standards (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) of leading automobile manufacturers are met.

The manufacturer has developed the "Raku PUR Speed" polyurethane foam sealant, which is tack-free within a few seconds, especially for the ultrafast production chains prevailing in the automotive and automotive industries. This means that components can be processed directly after application of the seal without long curing distances and investments in cost-intensive curing ovens and storage systems can be saved.
