Our automotive adhesive solutions for exterior lighting, including headlamps, tail lamps, and signal lamps, allow OEMs and Tier 1s to run efficient manufacturing processes that produce high performing products.
We carry structural and non-structural lamp bonding adhesives and sealers, constructed of one-component and two-component reactive urethane systems and non-reactive sealing materials. These adhesives feature high-temperature resistance, low VOC materials, fast time to leak test and fast cure.
The flexible and durable water shield adhesive performs in all climates and temperatures, is malleable, and offers strong adherence to ensure no water, dirt, or debris will accumulate in the vehicle.
The water shield plays a critical role in preserving the vehicle’s interior by preventing water and dirt from getting through the access panels. Our specifically designed adhesives are dispensed around the perimeter of the water shield to keep the polyethylene flexible plastic sheets in the water shields in place, sealing out the elements.
From the cockpit to exterior badging, APPLIED Adhesives ‘ technology delivers efficient, reliable and durable foamed-in-place gasketing. Gain gasketing application flexibility with our broad range of high-performance, one-part reactive and thermoplastic hot melts, along with our two-part adhesives systems.
