Parker LORD, a global supplier, is reducing secondary noises and increasing passenger comfort in electric vehicles (EVs). The growing EV market is leading to new challenges and considerations. Although EVs run much quieter than cars with combustion engines, this means other noises become much more apparent.
Sipiol weatherstrip coating.
The company’s Sipiol weatherstrip coatings and Flocklok adhesives are helping solve this issue. Specially formulated to reduce squeak and itch noises, these products offer excellent overall noise reduction.
The one and two-component Sipiol weatherstrip coatings are formulated to withstand challenging environments while lowering the coefficient of friction between the elastomer and glass, as well as the vehicle body and/or plastic parts.
By working in concert with Flocklok adhesives to insulate automotive windows, the results are significant reductions in noise, dirt and moisture intrusion, sealing wear, and more.
The Flocklok flock adhesives form a dependable barrier against the elements, in conjunction with various substrates including EPDM and TPE, to adhere polyester or nylon flock fibers to automotive sealings. Some common applications include glass-run channels, inner and outer window guides, upper door sealings, and inner door belts.
The Sipiol weatherstrip coatings can also greatly increase the abrasion resistance of those rubber sealings. With a low coefficient of friction, it meets most major OEM requirements. Overall, these products withstand the harshest environmental and chemical impacts, reducing noise and contributing to overall passenger comfort.
