Joining Securely Through the Use of Adhesives.
Closing or Securing a Part or Assembly with a Fluid-tight, Air-tight Adhesive.
|
 |
Virtually every product assembled requires bonding or sealing at some stage of the process. Liquid Control offers manual and automated technologies for single-component and two-component bonding and sealing for a broad array of products, markets and end-uses.

To Embed in a Container Within an Insulating or Protective Material. Potting is Often Accomplished Within an Evacuated Environment, called Vacuum Encapsulation.
|
 |
Many types of electrical and electronic devices, from medical implants to automotive engine modules, are insulated and protected from the environment by being encapsulated or embedded within polymeric resins. Liquid Control equipment meters, mixes and dispenses these two-part reactive resins, which include epoxies, silicones and urethanes. The reactive components are kept separate until they are mixed in disposable Posimixers. Liquid Control also offers a full range of automation options from manual to robotic systems.
A complete potting system consists of carefully selected components including dispensing equipment, valves and automation.

Sealing or Packing Between Matched Parts to Prevent the Exchange of Gas or Fluid and Protect Against Environmental Conditions.
|
 |
Liquid gasketing is a popular and cost-effective way to replace molded, die cut and other types of gaskets in automotive and many other applications. One- or two-part materials, including urethanes, elastomers and today's silicones, are used to form a seal that prevents leaking and keeps the outside environment from invading the system.
Precise metering, controlled flow and robotic dispensing are crucial to forming the exact profile required by the application.

Injecting or Pouring a Reactive Plastic Fluid Into a Hollow Form or Matrix.
|
 |
Liquid Control provides a variety of machines used in molding processes. The most widely used chemistries for molding processes are flexible or rigid polyurethane foam and elastomers, silicone rubbers, epoxies and polyesters.

|
Laminating
Multiple layers of packaging films, foils or paper are untied into one with a flexible adhesive bond. These films form the product contact surface as well as the barrier between the environment and solid, liquid or other form of food, drug, chemical, or other product requiring packaging.
Release Coatings
A minute amount of silicone in a proprietary blend along with several other ingredients blended to achieve the desired "release" of labels, postage stamps, asphalt shingles, etc. from a release liner or backing.
|
 |
Liquid Control provides both programmable variable-ratio and all pneumatic fixed-ratio systems that will automatically deliver mixed urethane and silicone material to in-line laminators and coaters. Our machines have a full complement of options for low material level alarms, heating, ratio monitoring with our Engarde system and event logging with printer output. Solventless materials are growing in their use, however solvent containing laminating adhesive materials are extensive. Our all pneumatic intrinsically safe machines are ideal for solvent containing materials.

Liquid Control can assist you with many other application processes.
Cartridge Filling
Dispensing a given volume of material into a customer-selected package.
Gel Coating
Covering with a layer, such as a paint or protective material.
Filament Winding
Coil winding or coating.
Scripting
Using three-dimensional automation to produce decorative fonts by dispensing a precise amount of material to give the lettering a raised effect.
Resin Infusion
This is typically high output injection of low viscosity resin into closed moulds under vaccum for products such as wind turbine blades.

LIM (Liquid Injection Molding)
Involves the injection of liquid polyurethane systems into a mold. The components then polymerize within the mold.
LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber)
Is a two-part catalyzed product particularly well suited for high-production products with tight dimensional tolerances.
Rapid Prototyping
Casting void-free parts for fast-curing polyurethanes for quick mold turnarounds.
Pultrusion
Pulling glass fibers through a resin bath to make continuous profiles, pipes and other shapes.
RIM (Reaction Injection Molding)
Involves the injection of liquid polyurethane systems into a mold. The components then polymerize within the mold.
RTM (Resin Transfer Molding)
Is a closed mold process for molding fiberglass products. It does not require metal molds or high pressure mold closing systems. It is ideal for part volumes from 500 to 10,000 parts per year.
VARTM (Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding)
Is a low-cost alternative to resin transfer molding (RTM). It features lower tooling costs, room temperature processing and ease of scalability.
