Improve
headlamp and taillamp reliability with dependable weatherseals
Fabricate O-rings for bulbs and seals for lamps with elastomers that improve
headlamp and taillamp reliability under challenging conditions.
Insulate bulbs and lamps from moisture and
dust even at extreme high and low temperatures.
Silastic® brand silicone elastomers offer a unique combination of
benefits organic elastomers cannot match, including:
-
Better weather resistance
-
Dielectric strength
-
Better resistance to high temperatures,
moisture, and chemicals
-
All-temperature flexibility coupled with good resilience
Plus, they can be custom compounded to meet a wide range of temperature
resistance requirements, including high heat and heat aging.
This makes them the ideal material for headlamp and taillamp sealing
applications, including O-rings for bulbs, and seals for lamps, lamp covers,
lamp caps, bulb covers, bulb caps, and light emitting diode (LED) lenses.

applications.
Add
marketable value to your headlamp and taillamp seals

Specify seals for lamps that:
-
Maintain their flexibility and resist compression set at both high and low
temperatures.
|
| |
|

Fabricate O-rings for bulbs that:
-
Resist cracking in the cold and degradation at high temperatures.

Start with the right elastomer
For headlamp and taillamp adhesives and
gaskets, we
recommend using low-volatile RTV or dispensed foam gaskets (DG+FG) to seal
out the environment, resist temperature extremes, resist UV radiation, etc.
Depending on the sealing technology chosen, the assembly can either be
serviceable or not.
Take advantage of our compounding expertise
We can recommend a proven silicone elastomer or custom compound one to help
your achieve the best processing efficiency and performance value.
