Liquid Sealing – A Process with Growing Potential

In our in-house technical centre, we have observed a stark increase in the number of queries received from the automotive sector. The reason for this is that there has been a considerable improvement in the resistance offered by liquid sealing materials at high temperatures and their compatibility with lubricants. The new compositions provide promising results when sealing controller casings such as those for ABS or ESP systems. In addition to these sector-specific trends, we have also recognised growth in bonding technology. More and more frequently, applications are being sought in which the dispensing material provides both a seal and adhesion qualities.

The advantages of liquid sealing processes are obvious. The manufacturer is flexible when choosing the shape of his sealing bead and, depending on the machine, also when changing his dispensing material. Seals (O-rings) can no longer be mixed up or inserted incorrectly and smaller numbers of these components now need to be available in the warehouse.

With our equipment, we can offer cost-efficient planning particularly to expanding corporations. Due to the fact that Scheugenpflug plants are standardised, the customer only needs to purchase the machine components he really needs, such as a material feeding and metering system. If his production continues to grow, he can easily expand and automate it using dispensing cells or vacuum plants. The basic modules already purchased can be easily integrated into the new production process.
