Informationen über FIPFG Formed In-Place Foam Gas

The FIPFG process is normally used for the application of liquid foam. The single-component Penguin Foam is directly applied to the part and the curing process takes place without any chemical reaction. The thixotropic properties of the foam ensure that very complicated tridimensional sealing shapes and excursive cross-sectional variations can be applied to the part by using adequate robot technology. The immediate expansion of the single-component foam directly after dispensing (without subsequent “expansion”) ensure furthermore that all sealing can be measure fully automatic directly after the application process without any further dead time. Dispensing of only one component ensures that even very small sealing gaskets can be produced accurately without any problems. Apart from curing at room temperature by humidity the standard range of Penguin Foam material comprises thermally activated polyurethanes. At 80°C within approx. 5 minutes the foamed parts are curing entirely and can be used for the next production step. Completely integrated systems with in-line applications can offer very low cycle times; cured foam gaskets can be applied and cured within 2 seconds.
