Sealing profiles
Sealing profiles are found in many different places on a car - on the doors, tailgate, windows or sunroof.
These unobtrusive assistants fulfill many different functions: they act as a seal and protect against injuries on corners and edges, they have to be flexible yet still display good dimensional stability, and they must adhere well to edges and not slip off.
If sealing profiles are reinforced with metal supports, the profiles have to be flexible but at the same time the polymer blend must not display too much elongation. This is because the metal inserts have to break at the predetermined breaking points when they are bent around corners during installation.
Porofor® ADC/M-C1 is a suitable foaming agent for this application. It is readily dispersible and produces a fine cell structure and a smooth surface, which is important for achieving a good seal. *Genitron® ACR can also be used here.
