Liquid gaskets, known as CIPG, provide fast production and the highest repeatability and are therefore a widely used method for sealing products in the automotive industry, among others. Important for all gasket materials is that they can carry a high load for a long time without deforming. Often good chemical resistance is also required.
Tribotec is now launching a silicone material which combines superior compression strength with high temperature resistance, while offering the best resistance to organic oils, such as engine and gear oils.
The new Silopren® LSR 2171 is a two-component silicone materiall which cures very quickly in heat and bonds to a wide range of substrates. Suitable for gaskets for gearboxes, radiators, engine blocks etc.
If you want to know more about LSR 2171 or have other questions about silicone for similar applications?
