As a member company of the AISIN Group, Aisin Chemical contributes to the automotive industry by developing and producing chemicals, friction materials and plastic parts. Aisin Chemical specializes in adhesives, coatings, and friction materials for transmissions and brake pads.
Aisin Chemical Indiana, LLC (ACIN), located in Crothersville, Ind., was established in 2006. The ACIN plant, which was constructed in 2011, produces an environmentally friendly, sound-dampening, spray-type adhesive known as a damping coat for companies such as Toyota, Nissan and Subaru. A damping coat improves the cabin environment. It is applied to the floors in automobiles to reduce vibration and road noise. Previous methods of manually attaching an asphalt sheet as a sound barrier have been replaced with automatic spraying of the damping coat directly to the floor of a vehicle.
