Hoenle Adhesives has introduced Vitralit CIPG 60200, a UV-curable cured-in-place gasket material for automotive and e-mobility electronics housings. The company is positioning the blue fluorescent polyacrylate as an alternative to conventional solid gaskets and FIPG silicone systems for complex 3D sealing geometries.
Hoenle says the material can be dispensed precisely with adhesive valves and programmable robots, then rapidly cured under UV light at 365 nm or 405 nm, or with gas-discharge lamps, enabling short cycle times and immediate handling strength. Once cured, the gasket is designed to maintain sealing force over time, with the company citing a compression set of 15% after 24 hours at 150 °C and an operating range from -40 °C to above 150 °C.
The company also says Vitralit CIPG 60200 resists common automotive media including engine oil, ATF, and 50:50 water/glycol mixtures, while offering low outgassing and UL 94 HB compatibility. Hoenle is targeting applications such as ECUs, battery disconnect units, on-board chargers, and cell module controllers.
A notable angle is serviceability: Hoenle says the cured gasket can be reused after disassembly, allowing housings to be opened and resealed without replacing the gasket. The company says that can reduce service cost and waste in maintenance and repair scenarios.
