| Abstract;A sealer has been developed to reduce the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in automotive cabins. This sealer can be discharged at 60.DEG.C. and enhances film retention. During development workability and work safety were taken into account. Partially cross-linking styrene butadiene rubber (SBR1) has been used to replace butyl rubber as the main component of the sealer. This replacement ensures dischargeability of the sealer, eliminating the need for the solvent additive formerly used to do so. These changes have increased the Thixo index of the material when heated, enabling both dischargeability at 60.DEG.C. and film retention to be achieved. Non-crosshnking styrene butadiene rubber (SBR2) has also been used as a component of the sealer to increase heat resistance. This new sealer contributes to meeting the standards for the "Voluntary Approach to Vehicle Cabin VOC Reduction". These standards are slated to be applied to new model passenger cars marketed from April 2007. (author abst.) |
