Automotive Adhesive – A Product for Every Assembly Requirement
The application of an automotive adhesive in assembly is extremely common these days. Automotive adhesives can be applied to a sensor or even an automobile chassis and many applications require bonding different substrates. The requirements of automotive adhesives require additional strength as most of the automobile manufacturers today use lightweight, composite materials in the production of vehicles in order to keep the vehicle as light as possible. Lightweight composite materials generally cannot be welded, thus requiring assembly alternatives. Mechanical fasteners may not be of help either, because these fasteners increase the weight of the vehicle, and at the same time, may come loose over years of vibrations and general use and the risk of parts getting loose can cause damage.

Dissimilar Substrate Bonding for Automotive Assemblies
Automotive professionals favor automotive adhesives, due to their simplicity of use and durability. With the appropriate application of an automotive adhesive, dissimilar types of metals can be bonded without difficulty. Most importantly, flexible-use adhesives allow the bonding of a metal with a composite, which cannot be done with the application of the welding process. Our automotive adhesive products also include a rubber-toughening agent, that is useful in alleviating contact forces and they absorb vibration.
Bonding Applications in Automotive Assembly
The extensive array of automotive adhesives by Adhesive Systems Inc. includes automotive adhesives that can be very helpful for numerous automobile related applications, like:
- Core plug sealing
- Formed-in-place gaskets
- Heat exchanger sealing
- Automotive hose bonding
- Filter end cap bonding
- Gasketing or gasket sealants
Our automotive adhesive can also be applied on the different components of the electronics system within a vehicle, like:
- Sensors
- Electric motors
- Potting and sealing electrical components
- Switches and relays
- Other similar processes and components
The most representative usages of our automotive adhesive products are:
- Bonding interior dashboard and trim
- Structural bonding of drive shaft and chassis
- Potting and sealing of electronics and LEDs
- Bonding of sensors
- Sealing heat exchanger tubes
- Gear box and sump cover gaskets
- Thread-locking and retaining bolts, pins and bearings
Usually the under-bonnet applications of automotive adhesives require high-temperature resistance, hence we use epoxies, cyanoacrylates, and anaerobics in the production of our automotive adhesives since these products have the capability to resist extreme temperatures up to 250 deg C (480 deg F).
