Overview

The SST-Porous^®Components BDT Series , specifically designed for Lighting Vent Cap , is the result of independent development by SST. It combines SST-Porous-PTFE breathable film with high-grade thermoplastic elastomers, including EPDM and TPE. Advanced welding techniques, such as ultrasonic or thermal pressing, are employed to assemble these components. The PTFE porous material is encased in a durable polypropylene shell, providing robust protection against punctures and collisions, thereby significantly enhancing the product’s longevity and ensuring its safety, reliability, and durability. This component introduces novel functions and features, achieving cost reduction and facilitating a one-key installation process. It is characterized by its exceptional waterproofing, breathability, and hydrophobic and oil-repellent properties, ensuring ease of installation.

How to install waterproof breathable automotive vent cap:

– choose the correct waterproof and breathable vent cap size according to the outside diameter of the lamp socket.

– do not allow too long vent holes for lamps and lanterns to prevent waterproof and breathable membranes from puncture holes.

The inner core of waterproof and breathable cap aligns the air hole of the lamp, and the external cover is properly pressed.

– waterproof breathable vent cap core is inserted into the vent to ensure that it is not too loose or too tight.

Use advantage

1. After 30 minutes of lighting, the humidity of unused waterproof breathable cap is 98%, and that of used waterproof breathable
cap is 82%.

2. After turning out the light, after 35 minutes, the humidity of the non-used waterproof breathable cap dropped to 37%, and the
humidity of the use of the innovative waterproof breathable cap dropped to 23%.

Technical Parameters

1. Breathability

SST-Porous^®Component BDT SeriesBreathable Cap products, according to the amount of ventilation The sizes are different, and the polypropylene (PP) outer cover uses black, gray, and brown for identification.

The product categories are described in the following table:

PP outer cover is black – small breathability

PP outer cover is black – medium breathability

PP outer cover is brown – large air permeability

Typical breathability

gt; 500 ml/min/cm2

gt; 10000 ml/min/cm2

gt; 15000 ml/min/cm2

Note: <&== &span>

※ The air permeability test is the air permeability before use

※ Test pressure difference, at ΔP = 70 mbar, RT

2. Waterproofness

SST-Porous^®Component BDT SeriesBreathable Cap The structure of the product is SST -Porous^®e-PTFE breathable membrane, due to its network structure composed of “fibers” and “nodes”, in addition to It has excellent breathability effect and also has excellent waterproof effect.

Oleophobic properties: Level 8 oleophobic

4. High and low temperature resistance

SST-Porous^® component BDT seriesbreathable cap product, high and low temperature characteristics: -40 °C to +120 °C

Description:

※ The usage temperature of the product mainly depends on the final usage temperature of the base material of the PP outer cover, thermoplastic elastomer or breathable film;
※ For specific temperature requirements, SST application engineers can provide breathable cap products with a wider operating temperature range.

5. PFOA-free

SST-Porous^® The material used in the s-PTFE breathable membrane is different from the PTFE raw material used in e-PTFE. It is obtained from a suspension and does not require an emulsifier – perfluorooctane acid (PFOA) (PFOA is suspected to be carcinogenic). Therefore, if the SST-Porous^® s-PTFE breathable membrane in the component adopts s-PTFE type breathable membrane, the SST-Porous® component BD T series breathable cap products are free of PFOA harmful substances .

For specially designated SST-Porous^® e-PTFE breathable membranes, you can choose PTFE dispersion raw materials prepared with environmentally friendly emulsifiers, so thatSST-Porous^® component BDT series breathable cap products do not contain PFOA.

6. Customizability

SST-Porous^®Component BDT SeriesBreathable Cap products can be selected from different categories of thermoplastic elastomers according to customer needsInner hole installation aperture, color of PP outer cover, air permeability and protection level, etc.

Among the common faults of car lights, fogging and insufficient brightness are both related to the ventilation function, and the other is insufficient brightness of the car lights. The reasons for fogging of car lights are complicated and related to the environment, the structure of the car lights, and the direction and speed of the internal air flow. One of the important reasons why the car lights are not bright enough is that the car lights are not able to withstand changes in the environment. Choosing the right breathable product will significantly reduce the incidence of these two failures.

The effects of breathable products on car lights include the following:

Prevent fogging from inside the car lights: Breathable products can allow the moisture inside the car lights to be discharged in time. Avoid fogging inside the headlights in humid weather or after washing the car, which may affect driving safety.
Prevent condensation inside the car lights: When the vehicle is driven in a high temperature environment, the inside of the car lights will Heat is generated. When the vehicle is parked, the heat inside the lights will gradually dissipate, causing condensation inside the lights. Breathable products can quickly drain the moisture inside the car lights and prevent condensation inside the car lights.
Prolong the life of car lights: Breathable products can effectively prevent water accumulation, oxidation and corrosion inside the car lights. Thereby extending the service life of the car lights.
Improve the brightness of car lights: Breathable products can ensure smooth ventilation inside the car lights and avoid overheating of the bulbs. Affects the brightness of car lights.

In short, Spade’s breathable caps play an important role in protecting car headlights. They not only improve driving safety, but also extend the service life of the lights and increase their brightness.
