There are many more LEAD CHEMICALS smart adhesives to discover, from sound-damping innovations to superior creep test performers.
Automotive Headliners
There are normal headliners and sun proof headliners. The substrates for these applications can be non-woven, sheet metal, wool, foam, electric cord, and ABS.
Our Eco friendly hot melt adhesives satisfy the demands of bonding, lamination and fixation.
Oil Filter Adhesive
Oil filter applications include auto engine oil filter, scooter engine oil filter, and auto ignition system filter.
Besides the pleating glue and frame assembly glue, cap sealing and filter paper positioning are also the important applications of oil filters. Eco-friendly hot melt adhesives are most suitable grades for these due to good oil resistance and heat resistance.
Air Filter Adhesive
We tailor suitable hot melt adhesives for filters on the basis of production speeds, pleat numbers, and filtration media, which could be glass fiber, PET, PTFE, PP, paper, etc… We make sure the distance between each pleat is fixed, satisfy the demands of heat resistance & cold resistance, and offer good bonding strength, low shrinkage rate, which will not allow product deformation.
Hot melt adhesives assist filter shaping, and can be applied on filter pleating, filter, assembly, cap fixing and bonding, hollow fiber stuffing, bonding two sides of filtration media, bag stitched, and sealing of stitched holes.
The major applications of automotive lamps are assemblies of head lamp, tail lamp and fog lamp. We offer Polyolefin based, Rubber based and PUR based hot melt adhesives respectively for different operation demands.
