Abstract
A sealing element is formed from a desirably shaped body of a sealant material formulated from a first polymer in a concentration of about 25 percent to about 40 percent, an inert filler material in a concentration of about 20 percent to about 45 percent and a hydrocarbon resin in a concentration of about 1 percent to about 15 percent. The sealant material, when positioned about a first component is overmolded with a material forming a second component. The sealant material, which is heat activated, forms a seal between the first and second components.
