TECHSiL are driving innovation in the automotive industry with a cutting-edge range of hot melt adhesive solutions manufactured by its long-term partner Power Adhesives. These adhesive technologies offer a myriad of advantages that can streamline manufacturing processes, making automotive assembly faster, more efficient, and cost-effective.
Why choose hot melt?
One of the primary reasons automotive manufacturers are taking up hot melt adhesives in automotive production is the speed at which it forms a strong bond. When hot melt is applied and compressed, it instantly creates a secure connection, eliminating the need for time-consuming clamping or secondary fixings, leading to substantial time and labour savings in the production line.
Products to consider
Addressing the challenges of working with difficult substrates, high-temperature environments, and chemical resistance is crucial in the automotive industry. TECHSiL offers a range of advanced adhesive solutions tailored to meet these demands:
