SUNSTAR ENGINEERING EUROPE: UV-Curable Foam Sealant

Penguin Foam 3130 is a one-component, UV-curable foam sealant that combines the proven performance of the Penguin Foam 3151E with a UV light-curing process that hardens in seconds, setting a new standard for speed and efficiency in industrial applications.
The new foam sealant builds on the success of Sunstar’s Penguin Foam 3151E, retaining its exceptional sealing properties while introducing a game-changing feature: curing in mere seconds under UV light. This eliminates the need for extended heat-based curing cycles (such as five minutes at 80 °C), enabling manufacturers to accelerate production timelines, reduce energy consumption, and optimize assembly processes.
Key features of the Penguin Foam 3130 include:
- Instant UV cures for high-speed production
- Closed-cell structure via Sunstar’s FOAMPLY mechanical foaming technology for superior water, air, and dust resistance
- High elasticity and compressibility, ideal for sealing/gasketing solutions
- Flexible and precise application via robot application
- Excellent durability, matching the reliability of the Penguin Foam 3151E, which has been used in the market for many years
Penguin Foam 3130 is designed and poised to enhance industrial applications such as automotive, electronics, and general manufacturing.
In addition to its speed, the Penguin Foam 3130 offers environmental benefits by reducing energy-intensive curing processes and supporting lightweight designs critical to automotive efficiency and emissions reduction.
The Penguin Foam 3130 FIPG Penguin Foam Sealant will be available in Germany starting in 2025, with plans for wider European availability to follow. Learn more at www.sunstar-engineering.com.
