Automotive Adhesives

The automotive industry is changing. Electromobility is on the rise and presents the industry with new challenges.

LASD and interior trim applications

Automobile manufacturers need efficient technologies to reduce noise and vibration in vehicles. Liquid-applied sound damping (LASD) enables manufacturers to apply highly efficient, customizable damping technologies in areas wherever necessary. For interior trim applications, manufacturers require adhesives that supply strong and reliable bonding to the various materials used in the car’s interior, such as plastics, metals, and fabrics – while meeting safety and regulatory standards.

Interior Trim

Technical lamination for interior trim can play a key role in reducing the carbon emissions generated during vehicle manufacturing – and fundamentally change the way we design, build, use and recycle vehicles. We need smart surfaces for smart mobility.
