Transportation Adhesives
& Sealants
Improve Product Performance Within Transportation
Our structural adhesives, such as our PLIOGRIP™ portfolio, as well as our silyl modified polymer hybrid sealants and hot melt (webs, films, powders) adhesives can help improve product performance, offering capabilities such as:
- High bond strength and elasticity: This allows you to manufacture a durable end-use product that can withstand repeated movement without compromising performance.
- Compatibility with lightweight substrates, such as SMC and DCPD composites: Using lightweight substrates can help you improve vehicle power due to its reduced overall weight; our solutions are compatible with these lightweight substrates and as a result can help you reduce reliance on mechanical fasteners.
- Flame retardancy: Certain transportation solutions can offer flame retardancy inherently in their formulation, which helps improve occupant safety and can reduce application damage in the event of a fire.
Meet Transportation Production &
Sustainability Goals
In addition to meeting performance requirements, you may want to keep your production lines moving and your environmental impact to a minimum. Our PLIOGRIP™ structural adhesives, silyl modified polymer hybrid sealants and hot melt adhesives can provide:
- Primerless application to many substrates, including aluminum, steel, plastics and composites: This helps you improve transportation process efficiency by offering the ability to reduce complexities, error likelihood and associated downtime, energy usage as well as costs that can arise from using a primer.
- Compatible with commonly available equipment: Our transportation adhesives and sealants are compatible and can work well with certain existing equipment; this helps reduce upfront costs and downtime as well as decrease equipment maintenance and associated energy usage and downtime.
- More sustainable formulations: Certain technologies are formulated to be free of volatile organic compounds, including isocyanates and styrene; this can help improve worker safety and reduce associated emissions compared to alternative options.
