Control Unit Gasketing: LOCTITE AA 5885

1. Customer challenges

• Thermal cure gasket technology required long cycle times in a large equipment footprint.
• Existing thermal cure gasket had experienced deflection and deformation at the part interface causing seal failure.
• Customer required seal integrity during high pressure water spray and thermal cycle testing.

2. Henkel solution

• A one-component, rapid (<30 sec) UV curing gasketing solution that allows gasket compression immediately after cure.
• Maintains a uniform sealing force across broad service temperature range.
• Offers excellent compression set performance with good adhesion to aluminum and most plastics.

3. Mass production set-up

• Henkel chemists have engineered a material that meets automotive customer reliability requirements.
• Henkel Automotive Electronics experts provide best in class technical support and Henkel’s state of the art laboratories are equipped to mimic a production environment through automated dispense systems.
• Ability to dispense and gasket modules expeditiously so customer can validate and scale up in record time.
