L&L SEAL
L&L XiP® (eXtrude-in-Place™)
L&L Seal
Robotically Dispensed Sealants for Automated Processes.
L&L XiP® compatible materials offer good wash-off resistance. Beyond that, they are formulated to be dry-to-the-touch immediately after being extruded onto the substrate, which leads to improved handling and enables the customer to stack or nest several parts, resulting in minimized packaging costs at a tier supplier or an offline cell.
The material can also be robotically applied inline for high repeatability, efficiency, and worker safety.
Why
L&L XiP®?
AUTOMATION
Flexibility to adjust where and when the material is applied, enabling versatile design capability.
DRY-TO-THE-TOUCH
The material is solid for easy handling and enables stacking of parts for minimized packaging costs and convenient transport.
LOGISTICS
The material used in L&L XiP® process is shipped in convenient pellet form to OEMs for inline application or to Tier 1 plant for production in an offline cell.
REDUCED WASTE
L&L XiP® eliminates waste from purging pumpable materials, offal from die-cut parts, and wash-off in the E-coat bath.
