Frequently Asked Questions about car weatherstrip adhesive
What is a weatherstrip?
A weatherstrip is a material often made of rubber that seals the edges of doors, windows, windshield and other areas of your vehicle. It prevents outside elements such as rain, snow, wind from reaching the interior of vehicles. We can find weatherstrips on car roof, windshield, window, cowl, and others.
What are the required features of the adhesives used for weatherstrips?
Adhesives for weatherstrips need to be flexible, waterproof, and resists against vibrations. They also need to be easy to brush, resist oils, solvents, detergents and temperature changes. Finally, these adhesives need to bond rubber, bi-component rubber or synthetic rubber such as EPDM.

How ensuring a good bond between weatherstrip seals and weatherstripping film adhesives?
To ensure a good bond between your weatherstrip seals and weatherstripping film adhesives, consider this tip: Grind both sides of the profile before bonding so that the edges are flat, straight and smooth. This will help with bond security. Use an automatic or manual grinding machine to do this.
