Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile interior decoration, especially to a waterproof film structure for vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The plastic film for vehicle has the functions of moisture-proof, dust-proof, sound insulation and air leakage prevention, and is mainly used to prevent water droplets from splashing on the interior panel of the vehicle door, thereby preventing the corrosion and damage of the interior panel.

[0003] 1. The vehicle door requires good sealing performance, dust-proof, waterproof and sound insulation. In addition to the reasonable size cooperation between the vehicle door and the vehicle body, the important thing is the sealing strip embedded or pasted on the vehicle frame and the vehicle door. The sealing strip is a hollow-shaped rubber product, and its softness enables it to fill spaces with different gap sizes. When the gap is large, the sealing strip is squeezed small, and when the gap is small, the sealing strip is squeezed large.

[0004] 2. The sealing performance is an important indicator of the overall quality of the vehicle, and the automobile sealing strip product is one of the important parts that determines the quality of this indicator. It is widely used in the vehicle body parts such as front and rear windshields, doors, windows, engine compartments and trunks, and fills the gaps between the vehicle body parts, has the functions of shock absorption, waterproof, dustproof, sound insulation, decoration, etc., and plays a maintenance role for the driver and passengers and the whole vehicle.

[0005] The butyl rubber waterproof film can achieve the effects of waterproof, dustproof and sound insulation for the vehicle door. The waterproof sealing adhesive tape of butyl rubber is made of butyl rubber and polyisobutylene as main raw materials, and is an environmentally friendly solvent-free sealing adhesive material produced by using special production formula and the latest patented technology and selecting high-quality special polymer materials (imported). Butyl rubber has the advantages of strong oil and corrosion resistance, good weather resistance and wide application field, but due to the characteristics of butyl rubber, it is difficult to bond in low temperature environment. Butyl rubber has the characteristics of glue, and the assembly environment should be higher than 8℃ to normally assemble (the working environment temperature of butyl rubber is between 5℃ and 45℃, which cannot meet the low temperature assembly condition). If the assembly temperature cannot meet the requirement, the butyl rubber needs to be heated to fully soften before being pasted. If there is an operation error during the pasting process, the secondary assembly cannot be carried out.

[0006] Therefore, it has become one of the problems to be solved in the industry to solve the problem that butyl rubber cannot be normally pasted in low temperature state.
