Truck Body-in-White Sealants
How Our Truck Sealants Can Benefit Body-in-White Performance
Our Elastosol™ rubber-based sealants for heavy and medium duty trucks can help you meet key body-in-white performance goals by offering:
- Adhesion to lightweight body-in-white materials such as aluminum and thin steel plate, which can contribute to a lightweight truck design
- Inherent anti-flutter and anti-corrosion properties, which are designed to reduce part degradation by minimizing movement in thin metal panels
- Good shear strength values when tested at high temperatures, which helps them withstand sliding forces without compromising seal
Our Elastosol™ body-in-white sealants are formulated to also provide:
- Faster cure speeds compared to epoxies, which can streamline production processes
- Formulations free of volatile solvents and that can yield no corrosive biproducts during welding or curing to improve safety and reduce associated environmental impact
