Moulded-In-Place-Gasket (MIPG)

By placing the component in the injection molding or pressing tool, the seal can be given a predetermined sealing geometry. Vulcanization takes place in the tool. The seal adheres to the metal or plastic insert (substrate). The seal is sealed by partial compression.

Materials: High-temperature curing HTV and liquid silicone types, all other elastomers according to suitability

• The seal is injection molded onto the part to be sealed.
• Lost-proof adhesion to the substrate
• Counterform must close exactly
• High technical requirements for components
• Vulcanized molded seal, composite part

Advantages:

• profile geometry variable
• Low compression pressure
• Good sealing at elevations
• and depressions (crescents)

Disadvantages:

• Expensive forms
• Only minor dimensional deviations
• the metal or plastic parts
• Complicated production in injection molding

Possible uses:

• cylinder head cover
• housings of various types

Synonyms: composite seal
