Ashland recently announced that its Pliogrip™ 5770 impact-resistant adhesive has been recommended by General Motors (GM) for use by auto-body professionals to repair impact-resistant joints in frame rail assemblies, strut tower assemblies, and other body structures that have critical strength requirements. It is reportedly one of only three adhesives on the GM recommended list provided to the auto repair industry.
Per GM’s guidelines, when an impact-resistant adhesive is removed or damaged, it must always be replaced with an impact-resistant adhesive. If another adhesive is substituted, the vehicle is not considered “returned to pre-accident condition,” which may compromise safety and drivability.
