UV Curable, Cured In Place Gasket; Introducing Vitralit CIPG 60200
Introducing the new UV curable CIPG 60200 from Hoenle for demanding automotive applications. Read on to find out more about this new sealant, where it can be used and why you should use it.
What is a Cured In Place Gasket?
Cured In Place Gaskets or CIPGs are liquid gaskets which are applied directly to components and housings and then cured in place. They are ideal for sealing complex geometries where conventional gaskets can’t provide effective sealing. These gaskets allow for bonding and sealing at the same time and create a barrier on sensitive electronic components against dust, moisture and other contaminant ingress.
Focus on Hoenle Vitralit
Hoenle’s CIPGs cure rapidly under UV light to provide immediate protection for electronic components against moisture, mechanical impact, and harsh automotive fluids. The new UV curable Cured in Place Gasket from Hoenle, Vitralit CIPG 60200, introduces a blue, fluorescent polyacrylate sealing material, specifically engineered for automotive and e-mobility electronic housing applications.
Vitralit® CIPG 60200 is a reliable replacement for solid or FIP gaskets and is well suited to needle dispensing and precision dispensing using valves and robots to ensure bead accuracy. CIPG 60200 prevents leaks to ensure joint tightness, and its rapid cure speed under UV provides immediate handling strength and reduces cycle times.
Other key benefits of Vitralit CIPG 60200:
- UL 94 HB compliant
- Adjustable surface tackiness
- Low outgassing
- Outstanding chemical resistance against engine oil, ATF, brake fluid
- Temperature resistance from -40 to 150 °C
- Durable under dynamic and static loads
- Adheres to metals and plastics
- CMR-free
Where can Vitralit CIPG 60200 be used?
Vitralit CIPG 60200 is designed for MRO applications where housings need to be opened and resealed without replacing the gasket and is especially suited to automotive applications. Its versatility makes it also suitable for sealing housings of Electronic Control Units (ECUs), Battery Disconnect Units (BDUs), On-Board Chargers (OBCs), and Cell Module Controllers (CMC), as well as for use on cameras, sensors, and switching units.
