PPG will collaborate with DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory to develop computer-based models of the aging characteristics of a variety of next-generation adhesives designed to join lightweight materials.
PPG recently announced that it has been selected for a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) partnership that will use supercomputing resources to accelerate the development and testing of structural adhesives for vehicles built from lightweight materials.
Leslie Wolschleger, Ph.D., Sika’s vice president of Research & Development, will give a presentation focused on the “Evolution of Adhesive Joining in Automotive Body-in-White.”
Sika Automotive recently announced that it will serve as the headline sponsor, as well as a
presenter and an exhibitor at the Global Automotive Lightweight Materials Detroit 2019 Conference, which will be held August 20-22 in Detroit, Mich.
The global methyl methacrylate (MMA) adhesives market was valued at approximately $10.6 billion in 2018 and is projected to cross $13.5 billion by 2024.
Fiber-reinforced polymer components with structural foam ribbing and reinforcements can save more than 40 kg of weight per car vs. conventional all-metal designs.
In a joint study, Henkel and RLE International have examined and validated the potential of high-performance structural foam for lightweighting in automotive body and closure parts.
Many adhesive film manufacturers are shifting their manufacturing activities to emerging economies including China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines.
Electrically conductive adhesive use is rising as fine spacing, environmental restrictions, and new materials impact or replace vehicle assembly methods.
With an investment of about €35 million (approximately $39.4 million), Henkel aims to serve the constantly growing demand for high-performance solutions supporting key trends in the global aerospace industry.
Henkel’s Adhesive Technologies business unit recently officially inaugurated its new production facility for aerospace applications in Montornès del Vallès (Montornès), Spain.
Drivers for reliable and efficient e-mobility reportedly include lightweighting, thermal management, safety, NVH (noise, vibration, and hardness), vehicle structure/durability, sensing, control, and connectivity.
DuPont recently announced that, through its AHEAD™ (Accelerating Hybrid-Electric Autonomous Driving) initiative, it showcased solutions that address desired attributes at The Battery Show and Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo.
