Key Takeaways
- GEALAN Formteile GmbH develops and produces complex plastic components for the automotive industry, delivering highest quality and ultra‑fast production processes.
- For sealing loudspeaker housings, GEALAN relies on the polyurethane foam RAKU® PUR 32‑XGEA23 from RAMPF Advanced Polymers, applied with maximum precision using FIPFG technology.
- The foam system’s material properties allow the component to be rotated multiple times without any sagging, ensuring reliable one‑step sealing even for highly complex geometries.
GEALAN also leverages this extensive materials and application expertise in the sealing of loudspeaker housings – using the high‑performance polyurethane foam RAKU® PUR 32‑XGEA23 from RAMPF Advanced Polymers.
The seal is applied directly to the component with high precision and full automation using FIPFG technology (Formed‑In‑Place Foam Gasket). Working closely with GEALAN, the experts at RAMPF have perfectly tailored the sealing system to the requirements of both the component and the application process.
Thanks to the special combination of reactivity and viscosity/thixotropy of RAKU® PUR 32‑XGEA23, the component can be rotated multiple times during processing without sagging. This guarantees reliable one‑step sealing, even for highly intricate geometries.
Christian Pflug, Head of R&D at GEALAN Formteile GmbH: “Our customers demand both speed and absolute reliability, and our materials and processing technologies are engineered to deliver exactly that. By using RAKU® PUR 32‑XGEA23 sealing foam from our long‑standing partner RAMPF Advanced Polymers, we ensure consistently high‑performance sealing results.”
