Encapsulation

What is Encapsulation?

A way to transform tempered or laminated glazing in complex module by the use of injection molding of high-end thermoplastics and thermoplastic elastomers allows a seamless integration with the car body.

Features and benefits

01

Seamless integration

Allows a perfect fitting of the glazing module with the car body
02

Module sealing

Provides a solution to water and dirts tightness management with surrounding elements
03

Improve acoustic performance

Reduces noise and improves aerodynamics, especially for flush design structures
04

Customization

Seamlessly incorporates various aesthetic components like logos, trims, and division bars
05

Design and style

Offers manufacturers the opportunity to create complex glazing surface shapes as a unique styling element

Technical information

01

Materials

Our long experience of processing PU, PVC and TPE materials combined with advanced knowledge of material characteristics enables us to support customers in making the best material choices for their applications.
02

Design

Our in-house product, CAD, simulation, and prototyping team have extensive expertise in encapsulation module design. Having direct contact with production lines, they are perfectly placed to co-design modules in partnership with our customers.
03

Integration

Internal encapsulation processes can be used for roof, side-lites and backlites with the integration of several features: assembly functions, insert stiffeners, aesthetic trims, division bars, primer, gaskets, antennas, electrical connections, all in the same process line
