Impregseal Your Plastic Moulded Connectors With Teknoseal Tsp 99
With the current trend of increasing use of plastics in automobile for weight reduction and increased electronics in vehicles, impregnation of electrical wire harnesses and plastic moulded connectors have gained much importance.
Wire harnesses are impregsealed against porosity. These wire harnesses are of different lengths, contain wires of different thicknesses, and are made by Tier 1 suppliers such as Delphi, ATPI, Siemens, Group Dekko, Sumitomo and Federal Mogul and many more.
The Reason we do it
As we know almost all molded or cast products consist of porosities, which contains micro voids. Impregsealing your plastics using TSP 99 completely fills these openings to moisture proof. The procedure is also called vacuum impregnating.
When it first emerged in the 1940s, porosity was sealed with sodium silicate and styrene-based resins, and it was mainly used to mend metal castings which were found to have “leakers” in leak-test operations. Shortly after the commencement, the method was used for preventing corrosion in metal castings, powdered-metal parts, and other porous metal elements.
Now the process of prevention of corrosion for other porous metal component such as plastic composites and wood, were being done with potting materials. But by the 1980s, more easily adaptable and flexible resins came to the market for sealing these products.
Wire electrical cables and individual insulated wires tend to have porosities within rubber and plastic insulation coating. When few insulated wire are adjacent to each other within wire harness, there are chances of sparking or short circuit between two adjacent electrical wires due to porosity in the insulation material. Hence it is an accepted practice to impregnate wire harness to avoid the situation.
Porosities in harnesses consist of micro porosities within the insulation coating. These porosities could be susceptible to trapping moisture that could lead to sparking and short circuit.
Low-viscosity impregnation sealant TSP 99 is effectively used to fill and everlastingly seal these minute openings in harnesses, which will prevent further corrosion and ensure long-term performance. TSP 99 requires heat up to 90°c to cure and this is a thermo-seal sealant.
The sealed up resin is a polymer that is flexible and durable. And it would never crack due to thermal expansion and has the power to endure common solvents such as glycol, oils, caustics and high uninterrupted operating temperatures up to 250°c
A procedure can seal the entire harness or just the tips or the ends. When the entire harness is sealed, it fills up the holes and gaps where wires touch the connectors or grommets.
The process involves impregnation of the wire harness vacuum impregnation machine. The wire harnesses are submerged into the sealant part and under the application of vacuum. The porosities are sealed using the Teknoseal TSP 99 sealant. After this impregnation is it is cured 90°c in hot water and impregnation sealant inside the porosities polymerizes and porosities are sealed.
The process of impregnation is very much needed in connectors. In the connectors, while the socket is made up of plastic, the internal pins are of copper and aluminium etc. In order to avoid the leakage path in the interface between the metal and plastic, impregnation is used, thereby making the components leak proof.
