In regards to the Automotive industry, H.B. Fuller supports different specifications for both the exterior and the interior automotive structures. Adhesives are in fact present in different components of the automotive exterior and interior trims. Key aspects to consider in automotive adhesive application and performance include: bonding strength, application temperature, versatility to different manufacturing set lines, waste reduction, safety, durability and high performance, even with heat sensitive substrates and on processes where variability may be present.

Water-based Adhesives
11
 Thermonex™ water-based
adhesives offer minimised
production time through low
activation temperature and short
cooling time:
• Reactive adhesives with very good heat
resistance performance and bonding strength, compared with
non-reactive products
• Applied at ambient temperatures and are reactivated at low
temperature therefore suitable for heat sensitive substrates
• Can be pre-applied to deliver a pre-coated substrate – end user
to reactivate complex only
• Supports error reduction due to inadequate adhesive quantity
and or adhesive spills

Reactive Hot Melt
Adhesives
12
 Swift®lock reactive hot melt
adhesives offer high performance
bonds:
• Chemistry of the reactive hot melt makes
them very compatible with a large variety of substrates used
in the automotive industry
• Fast setting time of the reactive hot melts improve bonding
process and reduce manufacturing costs

Solvent-based
Lamination Adhesives
13
 Swift®col solvent based
adhesives offer high
performance in all applications:
• Easy to use in lamination
• Good for processes where variability may be
present

Two Component PU
Adhesives
14
 Swift®bond adhesives offer
fast set times to achieve high
production rates across a wide
range of substrates:
• These adhesives yield a thermoset that boosts
high performance
• Set times can be adjusted with proper formulations to be
adapted to the different manufacturing set lines

Hot Melt Adhesives
15
 Swift®melt and Swift®therm
hot melt adhesives offer high
tack:
• Particularly indicated for fixation of a
wide range of wires, clips, and trim items
together
• Special grades for lamination
• Different types of hot melt adhesives for polar and non polar
substrates – the right selection provides a reliable bonding
