4 Loctite High Performance Gasketing CONVENTIONAL GASKETING METHODS TAPES SEALING COMPOUNDS THE HENKEL SOLUTION O-RINGS Henkel s gasketing technology portfolio is continually expanding to include new materials and processes exclusively designed to replace rubber gaskets in demanding automotive applications. With its latest development the Loctite 5883 polyacrylate gaskets combined with the new XIP gasketing process Henkel offers you a unique sealing solution and enables you to enhance the performance and reliability of your products while achieving productivity goals and reducing process s. The most widely used compression sealing method is the press-in-place (PIP) process, whereby a solid rubber gasket or o-ring is manually installed onto the parts. With this process comes a risk of displacement of the gasket during compression, leading to re-work or leakages. With the introduction of the XIP gasket technology, Henkel allows the fast, precise and series production-ready dispensing of a liquid gasket directly onto automotive parts, replacing the PIP process. The dispensed liquid material is cured by ultra-violet light within seconds. The output is a perfectly uniform solid compression gasket, with a constant height and perfect start and stop points. These features are enabled by the volumetric dispensing system offered by the XIP equipment. The result: enhanced product performance, reduced s and increased productivity. Henkel offers you a unique sealing solution and enables you to enhance the performance and reliability of your products while achieving productivity goals and reducing process s. Key Features Single-component, UV lightcuring liquid gasket Polyacrylate technology sealant: improved oil tolerance, proven lower gas permeability, no outgassing Excellent adhesion to aluminum and plastic substrates High-precision process Automated, fast and easy-tohandle process Benefits Reduces complexity, inventory and tooling Enhances product performance and reliability Allows light-weight design Reduces risk of re-work and leakages Increases manufacturing output and overall productivity

5 Market Served and Typical Applications Loctite 5883 and the XIP gasketing process is recommended in the engine, powertrain, and automotive electronics sub-systems where compression gaskets are widely used: Engine valve covers Cylinder head covers Oil pans Engine control units Cover plates Transmission covers Automatic transmission covers Intake manifolds Timing belt/chain covers Relay box covers Filter end plates Valve Cover Electronic Control Unit Intake Manifold Sensors Oil Pan Technical Data Product family Color Polyacrylate Transparent yellow/light amber Tensile shear strength Psi (N/mm 2 ) 900 (6.2) Elongation at break > 210 % Operating temperature 150 C Extrusion rate (grams/minute) 222 Hardness (Shore A) 50 Gap fill Engine oil tolerance Gas permeability Adhesion to metal Adhesion to plastic Suitable Excellent Proven lower v Silicone Highly recommended Highly recommended

6 High-Precision High-Speed Volumetric Dispensing High quality equipment solutions are specially designed for your XIP gasketing success. These solutions are fast, high precision, and production-ready volumetric dispensing systems. These dispensing and UV-curing systems can be integrated easily into your manufacturing process. These XIP volumetric gasketing dispensing systems offer the following features and benefits, compared to the traditional air over (time-pressure) dispensing systems: Fast, easy-to-handle process Your part is ready within seconds. Key Features Benefits ~5 sec Install the part into the XIPG robot. Volumetric dispensing system Dispensing head with digitally controlled gear wheel pump PRECISION OF +/-2% Improved Precision: 5 VS. Air Over dispensing system, adjustable bead size and shape Increased efficiency: Higher dispensing speed resulting in shorter cycle time ~30 sec ~30 sec The gasket is dispensed onto the part. Remove the part from the XIPG robot and install it into the UV light cure machine. Higher process repeatability and reliability Perfect bead start and stop connections, constant height through the bead ~1 min Remove the part from the UV light cure machine. The part is now ready to use.

7 The Next Generation in Gasket Technology Exclusively Designed for the Automotive Industry Benefits CONVENTIONAL VS. AUTOMATED PROCESS Warranty Labor Production 15% Estimated savings on total s Maintenance Energy Production Demonstrating Value and Cost Benefits Loctite 5883 and the XIP gasketing process vs Solid Gaskets By switching from solid ACM gaskets to Loctite 5883 and the XIP gasketing process, Henkel was able to quantify and document an overall savings of approximately 15% for a global automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Creating and demonstrating value for you is Henkel s mission. This is why Henkel has been trusted by all major automotive OEMs and tiered suppliers worldwide, for more than 80 years.
