Thermoplastic tape market players are working to capitalize on the evolving automotive industry, where lightweight components have been gaining significant momentum to enhance fuel efficiency and achieve low-carbon emissions.
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.
The in-adhesives Symposium on Innovations in Adhesives and their Applications will focus on industrial adhesives technologies for automotive and aircraft; construction, composites, and lightweight; electronics and optics; and more. Read More
The Battery Electric Vehicle Architectures (BEVA) Detroit Congress is designed to deliver realistic commercial options, technology strategies, and engineering solutions in the way forward to the mass-market adoption of electric vehicles.
