Designed polymers for the Automotive Industry
Car carpets
VESTOPLAST® based heavy coating compounds are used in preshaped car carpets to ensure an excellent dimensional stability after the pressing step.Hereby VESTOPLAST® offers a constant product quality and an excellent recyclability.
Interior bonding and lamination
Automotive interior parts are traditionally made by assembling and laminating adhesives. Today's needs for greater comfort and aesthetics have resulted in the use of new, and very often difficult to bond, materials such as decor films or fabrics which require higher performance adhesives. Also, ecological and economical aspects are becoming key drivers for adhesive selection. Tailor-made co-polyester-based hotmelts are particularly suited to meet the increased requirements. DYNACOLL® S thermoplastic hotmelts are used in place of flame lamination due to their superior low-VOC content (low fogging), high softness and flexibility. DYNACOLL® 7000 based reactive hotmelts are well known for their versatile adhesion properties and very high temperature resistance.
Windshields
Bonding of glass windows to the body is part of the passive safety concept. Therefore adhesives with high mechanical properties, elasticity and durability are required. Moisture curing PUR formulations are modified with crystalline DYNACOLL® S copolyesters tailoring initial strength and modulus. Quick setting adhesives lead to shorter drive-away times after repairing.
