Elastomers- Seam Sealers, RTV silicones & polyurethanes
Seam sealers are used in auto production and collision repair and offer these benefits:
1. Seal spot welded seams To prevent water intrusion, corrosion and vibration
2. Use to dampen the “flutter” that occurs in large, thin body panels
3. Used to tie the out skin to the substructure( door skin to frame )
4. Offers acoustic dampening for a more quite interior
5. Applied at the factor by either robot or by hand and usually heat cured.
