Module joint design, adhesive selection, substrate choice, and combined mechanical and environmental stresses in the field all impact the longevity of the protective seal on a vehicle's electronic part.
Transportation electronics in both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and autonomous vehicles regulate crucial on-board domains such as drive control units, safety systems, proximity sensors, and connectivity controllers. The electronics in these increasingly sophisticated computers are susceptible to corrosion failures from exposure to water and salt during vehicle operation that can result in performance problems, loss of function, and expensive repairs.
Continual climate change necessitates a movement toward energy savings via coatings. One method of saving energy in hot climates is to minimize the heating of buildings. This can be achieved with the application of a coating on the roof that keeps the rooftop cool while minimizing the conduction of heat and the use of air conditioning. Another way to save energy is through increasing the lifespan of a coating with heat protection. This method represents energy savings in a broader scope, as it reduces energy along the production chain.
A new LED lamp was developed for high-speed production in the electronics and automotive industries in environments that require small areas to be irradiated and equipment to be easily integrated into existing systems.

The DELOLUX 504 spotlight lamp from DELO reportedly features the latest generation of UV LEDs, achieving three times the intensity of the previous model. This new LED lamp was developed for high-speed production in the electronics and automotive industries in environments that require small areas to be irradiated and equipment to be easily integrated into existing systems.
Traction for adhesives and sealants among manufacturers of cars, buses, trucks, and recreational vehicles has surged in the past several years.
February 17, 2021
Ushering growth in the 2020s, legacy players in the adhesives and sealants market are striving to cater to the demands of transportation companies. Traction for adhesives and sealants among manufacturers of cars, buses, trucks, and caravans/recreational vehicles (RVs) has surged in the past several years.
A new two-part epoxy adhesive has enabled Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari to solve an existing adhesive issue for a new automobile development.
The requirements for the bonding of carbon parts are getting more and more demanding. Kisling, a Switzerland-based manufacturer of adhesives, has developed a new 2K-epoxy to improve bonding performance for a variety of applications in the automotive industry.
In 2015, we were challenged with developing a 14-head, 140/min, continuous-motion bottle filler to fill blow-molded bottles. It was during this project that we first began to work with Morrison Container Handling Solutions, and we began to rethink how we could transfer cartridge containers through our filling systems.
A new category of abrasives is providing options to mitigate powder coating challenges relating to surface prep material performance, environmental profile, and production economics.
The global market for powder coatings is projected to expand in the coming years, potentially reaching $19.9 billion by 2027.1 While the powder coating sector is poised for rapid growth, a prerequisite remains: getting the surface right.
Many advantages come with packaging adhesive and sealant products in sausages. Without taking any other factors into consideration, the sausage itself represents an initial cost savings of typically 25-50% compared to a conventional cartridge, depending on the type of film required.
From complex electronics assemblies to lightweighting and beyond, the incorporation of adhesives and sealants in transportation applications is expanding.
The technologies of today make it almost impossible to discuss the transportation industry without also bringing electronics into the conversation. Various sensors and other devices monitor or facilitate the operation of nearly every aspect of a vehicle’s operation, in one way or another.
You have a wide range of structural adhesive possibilities here. Normally, you require an adhesive that has been toughened with a rubber for this. Very rigid, quite brittle adhesives have been successful, however.
