LUNCH & LEARN

The days of relying solely on mechanical fasteners are gone, and new advancements in paint systems such as scratch resistance and carbamate clear coats make surface adhesion more challenging for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

Automotive design engineers are looking for high-performance adhesive tapes that demonstrate proven success on the latest clear-coat paint finishes and low surface energy (LSE) plastics. OEM tape specifications are particularly challenging because they require a strong balance of peel and shear performance over a broad range of environmental conditions.

Saint-Gobain has developed a range of primerless acrylic tapes that can enable attachment of LSE components to challenging automotive clear coats, without the need for additional primer treatment.

In those cases where you have a unique design challenge that can’t be solved with existing products, you can rely on the experience of Saint-Gobain Tape Solutions to develop a new solution to meet your application requirements.

3 Key Takeaways:

• What are the challenges faced by automotive bonding applications
• What are the benefits of using the latest tape technologies such as Norbond Z3000 primerless attachment tape
• How can you leverage Saint-Gobain Tape Solutions to develop a custom solution for your specific application
