Did you know that up to 60% of a vehicle is made of adhesive?
We are experts in bonding applications for vehicles.
Whether you need to secure components or provide protection during transport—we always have the right adhesive tape solution for you.
Adhesive bonding offers a whole range of advantages in the automotive industry—and not just for electric cars. It makes the car lighter and distributes the impact energy more effectively in the event of a crash, because the pressure is transferred evenly across the bodywork thanks to the uniform distribution of the adhesive.
It's all about the design – masking solutions for the automotive industry
Custom vehicle design is one of today’s major trends. We offer a wide range of high-performance masking solutions for vehicle bodies and bumpers, each of which meets the stringent requirements of the painting process. This enables OEMs to create vehicle designs that are not only unique but also reproducible. Our product range and expertise in masking applications help OEMs overcome the associated challenges and optimize every step of the process. This includes ensuring reliable adhesion, preventing overspray during coating, high temperature resistance, and easy, residue-free removal of the tape to avoid rework.
We always ensure the optimal application of our materials by offering universal and customized solutions such as Fineline tapes, dispensers, or other tools. Based on our extensive industry experience in the field of paint finishing, we analyze individual process and design parameters to create customized masking solutions. This enables measurable cost savings and process optimization, as well as adherence to an impressive quality standard. Custom die-cut solutions with special application aids, such as applicators, help users position the masking tape with greater precision on the vehicle’s complex contours.
Applications:
• Two-tone fineline masking
• Bumper protection
• Flange masking
• Repair masking
• Temperature-resistant body protection
• Temporary sealing
Strong connections – for securing attachments
Throughout a vehicle’s service life, static and dynamic loads act on the structural connection between the body and the attached component. These loads can result from differences in the thermal expansion of the materials.
Adhesive tapes provide a secure hold for attached components on the vehicle body while also offering reliable sealing and vibration damping. These unique adhesive tapes also optimally compensate for thermal expansion and resulting stresses. Their high flexibility ensures a perfect bond even in the curves and corners of the body. The adhesive tape is barely visible between the component and the body.
Applications:
• Aerodynamic trim
• Side trim
• Brake light spoiler
• Door trim
• Door sill trim
• Emblem
• Wheel arch extensions
• Headlight washer system
• Parking sensor
• Pillow trim
• Sill
• Roof trim
• Roof rails
• Roof antenna
• Trunk trim
• Window frame
Everything at a glance – Mirror manufacturing solutions for the automotive industry
Our professional adhesive tape solutions for mirror manufacturing offer numerous advantages over clip fasteners. These include weight savings, secure component attachment, shatter protection, gap sealing, and greater design flexibility.
Our double-sided adhesive tapes are ideally suited for the various stages of mirror manufacturing: attachment, shatter protection, and surface protection. When assembling an unheated mirror, the mirror glass can be secured directly to the base plate using our double-sided adhesive tape. For heated mirrors, the heating element can be securely attached to the mirror glass on one side, while the other side is attached to the base plate. For securing electrical components, we offer die-cut adhesive tape parts in various materials, thicknesses, and colors to meet all design requirements.
For most applications, we provide customized solutions through our custom converting services.
Applications:
• Mirror housing
• Electronic components
• Base plate
• Heating element
• Mirror glass
Lifetime Durability – Cable Retention Solutions for the Automotive Industry
The demands of this application are very high. Different types of cables and wires must be bonded to various substrates—from headliners and plastic parts to the vehicle body—and to shapes with a wide variety of contours. Thanks to our extensive experience, we can ensure fast, secure, and durable cable fastening. Our specially developed range of low-VOC adhesive tapes ensures better air quality in the vehicle interior. The adhesive tapes in this range offer impressive adhesive strength and shear resistance. Compared to other adhesive technologies, they are significantly lighter in weight. At the same time, the soft backing helps minimize noise generation.
We offer customized cable fastening solutions tailored precisely to the requirements of your specific application. Die-cut parts on rolls, with or without liner slits, ensure an efficient processing workflow.
Applications:
• Roof systems
• Interior doors
• Seats
• Dashboards
• Bumpers
• Vehicle interiors
• Pillars
Lifetime durability – Solutions for bonding in vehicle interiors
We have extensive expertise in bonding applications for vehicle interiors. This is crucial when working with fastening solutions for innovative materials with low surface energy and recycled materials, and when ensuring compliance with legal requirements regarding low VOC levels. We pursue a “low-emission” strategy to meet global demand for low-VOC solutions and thereby improve air quality in vehicles.
Our product range is ideally suited for laminating parts with surfaces that are difficult to wet. The adhesive tapes adhere securely to the substrate even at corners, thereby reducing the risk of delamination, particularly when the joint is subjected to continuous stress after application. With our adhesive tapes, lightweight, rigid, and inflexible components with rough surfaces can be fastened quickly and securely in both horizontal and vertical positions.
Thanks to our comprehensive converting expertise, we can provide you with sophisticated and custom-made die-cut parts specifically tailored to your fastening requirements. The integrated design features can help optimize your production process and make application in hard-to-reach areas significantly easier and more efficient.
Applications:
• Interior trim
• Interior doors
• Overhead systems
• Seats
• Cockpit
• Trunk
• Floor coverings
• Acoustics
• Safety systems
