Durable – demonstrates high strength and excellent durability for structural applications.
Non-Flammable – exceeds U.S. DOT requirements for non-flammability and does not require explosion-proof equipment.
Environmentally Recommended – does not contain ozone-depleting chemicals.
Environmentally Resistant – resists sunlight, weathering, humidity, and salt spray.
Chemically Resistant – solvent resistant when cured. Painting and most cleaning processes do not affect bond strength.
From assembly and repair adhesives, anti-friction and flock adhesives, to thermal management materials and in mold bonding adhesives, we have many solutions that will fit your automotive design.
Consumers want fuel efficiency and government regulations demand it. Liftgates can be made lighter by using alternate substrates like aluminum, plastics, and composites. The challenge with these dissimilar materials is bonding and fastening them to last through the vehicle's life. Adhesives can aid design flexibility and encourage the use of these lighter-weight materials by lightening the car's load and ultimately improving fuel efficiency.
Whether you need structural integrity or an improved thermal connection, our products allow design flexibility. We have thermally conductive and non-thermally conductive adhesives. When used on battery box lids, adhesives can serve dual purposes for sealing and attaching the lid to the box. Adhesives are often used to replace traditional mechanical fasteners, adding less weight to your battery pack, and often leading to longer range.
Similar to liftgates, spoilers are another area on a vehicle that benefits from the application of adhesives. Replacing conventional joining methods such as tabbing and mechanical fastening with adhesives provides a host of benefits. From improving vehicle aesthetics and performance to reducing cost and the overall weight of the vehicle, adhesives are an ideal solution for optimized vehcile design and efficiency.
