The Automotive Adhesives Market

Adhesives market in the automotive sector
According to data from Grand View Research, the global automotive adhesives market is expected to reach $7.74 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.5%. This reflects the growing demand for adhesives due to the need to reduce vehicle weight, improve efficiency and comply with environmental regulations.

Industrial adhesives in the automotive sector

Role of industrial tapes and adhesives in the automotive industry
Adhesives play a crucial role in the automotive sector by enabling different materials to be bonded together efficiently and reliably. They are used in a wide range of applications. Industrial tapes and adhesives are frequently used for gluing moldings, components such as brake pads, or even for sealing electronic components, providing strength, rigidity and durability to vehicles. The role of adhesives in the automotive industry has been growing in importance in recent decades.

Main applications in the automotive sector

Main applications of tapes and adhesives in the automotive sector
Tapes and adhesives are used for various reasons, such as their strength, ability to absorb vibrations, ease of application and the possibility of bonding in areas where welding is not feasible. In addition, tapes and adhesives are also used for the encapsulation and sealing of components, as well as for the support and insulation of electronic components, which contributes to improving the quality and durability of vehicles.

Improvements brought to the automotive sector

Improvements brought to the automotive industry by tapes and adhesives
Compared to other joining methods such as welding or mechanical bonding, tapes and adhesives offer several advantages, including uniform stress distribution, weight reduction, reduced risk of corrosion, and the ability to join dissimilar materials such as metals and plastics. They also allow for more flexible and complex design, improving vehicle efficiency and performance.

Characteristics of the most commonly used adhesives

Characteristics of the most commonly used adhesives in the industry and the reasons for their use
Acrylic adhesive tapes and structural adhesives such as epoxy or polyurethane adhesives are the most widely used in the automotive industry due to their ability to withstand mechanical loads and resist extreme conditions, such as temperature changes and vibrations, in addition to their high strength and durability.

Most common adhesive bonding elements

Most frequently used tapes and adhesives in the industry
The most frequent joining elements in the automotive sector are the fixing of interior panels, emblems, moldings, decorative elements, metal and plastic components, electronic components, joint sealing, surface protection, or the encapsulation of sensors and cables, among others. At Fustier we offer the best solutions for the market, and we comply with the highest quality standards IATF 16949:2016.

Adhesive capabilities and strength

Supporting capabilities and strength of Fustier automotive tapes and adhesives
The tapes and adhesives used must have adequate support and resistance capabilities to withstand the extreme conditions to which the vehicles are exposed. That is why our wide range of products covers the main factors: resistance to extreme temperatures, mechanical forces and vibrations, resistance to chemicals and corrosion.

Industrial adhesives in electric cars

Current context of industrial tapes and adhesives in electric cars
With the growing demand for electric vehicles, industrial tapes and adhesives are playing a crucial role in the manufacture of these vehicles. Tapes and adhesives are used in the joining of battery components, electric motors, electronic systems and also in the construction of lighter and more efficient vehicle structures.
