Leaks
in cast components caused by porosity, blowholes, gas inclusions or the finest stress cracks significantly impair their function and lead to rejects. Our state-of-the-art impregnation technology offers the perfect solution: it reliably seals the leaks and ensures long-term functionality of the cast components at the highest level.Six reasons why our impregnation makes your components unbeatable
Maximum tightness
Our vacuum impregnation technology closes both macro and micro porosities or stress cracks and ensures a reliable, long-term seal, even under extreme operating conditions.
Highest quality
With our fully automatic impregnation systems and our highly developed impregnation resins (LOCTITE®), we achieve the highest sealing rates on raw, partially machined or finished components – without residues, discolouration or damage.
Optimised supply chains
Our fast impregnation service (contract impregnation) at the customer’s premises saves transport costs, reduces the carbon footprint and minimises circulation volumes. Sealed components are immediately ready for use again.
Cost efficiency
Our impregnation process achieves the highest leak tightness rates, minimises rejects and failures and saves valuable resources such as time and operating costs – even in the event of gross leakage rejects over the entire component life cycle.
Customised solutions
Our customised impregnation solutions adapt to every requirement – whether on site, temporarily, as an immediate measure or through customer investment in the machine and product. We offer the right solution.
Sustainable technology
Our recyclable impregnation resin (LOCTITE® IS 90R) reduces waste water, eliminates CO₂ emissions thanks to short transport routes and fulfils the highest environmental standards – certified to ISO 14001.
Sealed, robust and durable: the difference with KID impregnation
Leaking components caused by stress cracks, shrinkage porosity (blowholes) or gas porosity are not visible to the naked eye and can only be detected by machine leak testing. However, these microscopic defects can have a massive negative impact on the tightness, strength (density deviation), performance and service life of the component. Depending on component design, influencing factors in the casting process and materials used, the rate of leaking components varies greatly. Only professional vacuum impregnation with our highly developed LOCTITE® impregnation resins provides a permanent seal and thus reduces the reject rate.
Sealing and efficient solutions for every industry
Our impregnation offers reliable support for a wide range of industries where tightness, durability and reliable functionality are required. Thanks to our modern vacuum impregnation technology and customised services that are specifically tailored to your requirements and components, KID offers the ideal solution for every application and every challenge.
Our impregnation process
Step by step to a sealed (cast) component.
Vacuum impregnation
In the first step, the component is subjected to a controlled vacuum process to evacuate air and moisture from the porosities and cracks. The pressurised chamber is then flooded with impregnation agent so that all components are in the liquid resin. This is followed by the aeration and penetration phase in which the impregnation resin penetrates deep into the open pores, cavities, capillary gaps and cracks in the components through the vacuum created in advance. In this way, all cavities are effectively filled and sealed to ensure permanent impermeability.
