Impact Absorption Layers:

Custom overmolds incorporate multi-layered structures that absorb shocks, prolonging sensor lifespan.

Tailored Shore Hardness:

By adjusting the Shore hardness, we optimize the balance between flexibility and structural integrity for specific sensor applications.

4. Electrical Insulation and EMI/RFI Shielding

In high-performance automotive sensors, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) pose significant challenges.

Dielectric Properties of LSR:

Our formulations offer superior electrical insulation, preventing signal interference.

EMI/RFI Shielding Additives:

Incorporation of conductive fillers such as carbon black or metal particles provides effective electromagnetic shielding.

Design Flexibility:

Overmolds can be engineered with integrated shielding layers to meet specific electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards.

5. Customized Geometries for Complex Sensor Designs

Modern automotive sensors often feature complex geometries requiring precise overmolding techniques.

Multi-Shot Molding Capabilities:

Our advanced equipment allows for multi-material and multi-layer overmolding to produce intricate shapes.

Conformal Coatings:

Achieve uniform coverage on irregular surfaces, ensuring comprehensive protection.

Miniaturization:

We excel in producing compact, lightweight overmolds that do not compromise sensor performance.

6. Anti-Contamination and Self-Cleaning Coatings

Sensors operating in dirty or dusty environments require solutions that minimize contamination.

Hydrophobic and Oleophobic Coatings:

Integrated into the overmolding process to repel water, oil, and dirt.

Self-Cleaning Surfaces:

Certain formulations enable self-cleaning properties, reducing maintenance needs.

Enhanced Visibility:

Improved sensor clarity and accuracy over extended periods.

7. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly LSR Solutions

As the automotive industry moves towards sustainability, eco-conscious materials are increasingly vital.

Biocompatible and Recyclable LSR:
