Across the top of the grill- outboard of the fan- is usually a grill seal. At the other side of the engine compartment- nestled under the windshield wipers- is the cowl seal, the hood-to- cowl seal, or the leaf tray seal. These seals protect this end of the compartment from the dust and debris that can fall from the windshield into the engine compartment. Under hood seals to reduce noise, dust, debris and to isolate components There are seals: in the air filter at the end of the air duct, seals that isolate engine components from making noise if they vibrate, and seals that isolate rubber, steel and plastic tubes as they wind their way to and from the engine. Most of the under hood seals are far enough away from the engine to permit them to be rendered in EPDM. Thermoplastics do not live well in the hot conditions under the hood, even as far away as the grill area.

Most of this trim is actually quite functional. The plastic panel running down the centerline of the outside of your car door has been integrated into the vehicle’s styling, but it also prevents quite a few dings and dents. Spoilers improve a vehicle’s aerodynamics and therefore, have been integrated into the styling package. Spoilers are part of most vehicles’ safety lighting system: rear spoilers almost always contain the ‘brake applied’ warning light. Body fascia seals to tightly attach appliqués and prevent unwanted noise Many body fascia and spoiler systems require seals to assure that these appliqués fit tightly to the side of the vehicle. A loose fit will usually result in an unwanted noise or whistle: a consequence that must be designed away. In the arena of body fascia seals, thermoplastic elastomers are developing a commanding position owing to the fact that, in many cases, the seal is not seen and is therefore, not exposed to UV light. EPDM seals strike a tempting alternative and are in many cases, the material of choice.

Once identified, these unwanted conditions- noise, vibration, and harshness- needed to be engineered out of the vehicle. Noise and vibration are easily measured; harshness is measured by human subjective impressions. Reduce noise, vibration and harshness Interior NVH deals with noise and vibration experienced in the cabin of a vehicle. Exterior NVH deals with the noise radiated by the vehicle and includes drive-by noise testing. To remedy either condition, the NVH engineer is asked to change the sound quality, such as adding or subtracting particular harmonics rather than making the car quieter. Reduce rubbing of components NVH isolators are usually extruded or die cut foam or sponge applications shaped to keep components from vibrating or rubbing into an adjacent component. Foam EPDM is often times the remedy of choice, though foam thermoplastics are also employed.

How it works: Your AC system does not blow cold air on you. Instead, it takes the hot air in your vehicle and blows it across a super cooled set of tubes containing refrigerant: a heat exchanger. The refrigerant in the tubes absorbs the heat from the air coming from the car, turning it cold, then returns that air back into the vehicle as the cold air you actually feel. The refrigerant, now hot, must be pumped back to the central cooling unit where the heat is removed and the refrigerant is re-cooled, so it can be pumped back to the heat exchanger where the process can reoccur. AC insulator tubing to create efficient AC cooling system All of this requires a tremendous amount of tubing which must be insulated if the system ever hopes to be efficient. EPDM sponge material has been adapted to be especially useful in this application owing to its superior elasticity. The material stretches well over tube fitting without ripping or tearing and is very easy to handle (low tendency toward worker carpal tunnel disorder). Also, EPDM does exhibit good insulating characteristics and can be processed to an acceptably low density. In home and commercial building air conditioning systems, PVC Nitrile is normally the material of choice owing to its high insulation properties and low density: very high number of feet of tubing insulation per pound of material used. To offset the volatility (cost) of PVC nitrile compounds, Mantaline is engaged in developing a super low density EPDM that may effectively compete in the commercial marketplace.

These engines use petroleum by-products (gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas) and are found in all vehicles: automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, boats, aircraft and locomotives. Engine seals to withstand gasoline, coolants and wide temperature ranges An internal combustion engine can be broken down to sub- compartments which are bolted together. On the piston and valve side, there are seals for the valve cover and rocker cover that are the focus of Mantaline’s core capabilities. These seals can be made of silicone, fluoroelastomer or polyacrylate materials, chosen for the wide operating temperature ranges and their ability to withstand the attack of gasoline and various coolants.

Natural rubber, synthetic rubber tubing and various plastics are available (depending on the application). Tubing styles range from flexible to rigid, and colored to clear. Different types of tubes are generally used in a variety of applications including hydraulic, medical, chemical, pharmaceutical, appliance industry and food processing. There are several performance and safety specifications that must be considered in custom designed rubber tubing. The material must meet the customer’s and the industry’s technical specifications: operating temperature range, ozone and other chemical resistivity, tensile, hardness and elongation. Different EPDM Compounds Mantaline has recently been successful in fielding three different EPDM compounds for distinctly different tubing applications: washer machine hose (strict laundry specification), gas dryer pigtail tubing (stringent gas industry specification) and automotive windshield wiper washer tubing (automotive specification). Tubing material and properties: Butyl Rubber: low gas permeability, excellent electrical insulation performance, resistant to heat, weather, ozone, tearing and abrasion. EPDM: High and low temperature stability, steam and water resistant, strong chemical resistance and resistant to weather, ozone and aging. Neoprene: versatile usage, oil resistant. Nitrile: extremely resistant to various oils, heat aging abrasion and tearing; good resilience. Silicone: used in harsh environments within a wide temperature range, fire resistant, suitable as an electrical insulator and for food handling applications. Sponge rubber: closed-cell material that withstands controlled compression with shock absorbency. PVC: chemical resistant, easily tinted and available in a wide range of hardness levels (rigid or flexible).
