Adhesives and sealants play an important role in providing tight seals for hydrogen-based fuel cells, a technology becoming increasingly popular for powering electric vehicles.
For effective protection of all vehicle lighting elements against moisture, dirt, and dust with pressure compensation seals, Schreiner ProTech offers comprehensive solutions for all commonly used vehicle lighting systems.
Bostik, a manufacturer of industrial, construction, and consumer adhesives, exhibits its extensive line of adhesives and sealants for battery applications at this year’s Battery Show North America at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan, September 13-15, 2022.
When combined with structural adhesives or overmolded thermoplastics, composite putrusion systems* help deliver high-strength, lightweight macrostructures that can help automotive manufacturers meet efficiency goals while optimizing costs.
Pultruded composites are continuous fiber-reinforced materials that can be used as a main structure and, when combined with sealants or structural adhesives, create a unified macrostructure.
Form-in-place gasket (FIPG) sealants are well-established in the automotive sector for seal applications such as oil pans, drive trains, and cooling systems. However, innovations in automotive design have led to substantial changes in how FIPGs are used today. Heuristics established for previous generations of designs and materials are no longer applicable.
Whether using a silicone adhesive in an aerospace assembly or manufacturing silicone bakeware, post-cure for silicone is not a process that belongs in the past.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may find that post-curing can bring value to certain applications. To determine if post-cure is the best option, it’s important to better understand what is happening during the process, the advantages it offers, and key best practices.
