This type of
adhesive cannot be used for thermosets.
Body Adhesive
This adhesive is a solvent containing the
parent resin of the parts to be bonded.
Elastomeric Adhesive
This adhesive is rubber dissolved in solvents, and
is very versatile.

Thermoplastic chemistry enables CFRTP
composites to be incorporated into high volume
manufacturing processes such as compression and
injection molding as well as into structures with
dissimilar materials via overmolding, adhesive
bonding, and thermal lamination.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Lightweight
• High strength & stiffness
• Excellent fatigue & impact resistance
• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
• Strong adhesive properties
• Chemical and corrosion resistance
• Reduced NVH compared to metals
• Rapid cycle times
• Low VOCs
VALUE SOLUTION
• Replaces metal without sacrificing strength
• Reduced vehicle weight improves fuel
economy, reduces energy consumption
• Selective reinforcement adds strength in high
stress areas
• Easily integrated & streamlined manufacturing
process
• Easy bonding to various materials
• Increases structure & puncture resistance
• Can be used in injection and compression
overmolding operations
• Enables thin-walling and material reduction by
adding reinforcement to traditional materials
• Able to be re-formed, reused, recycled
USES & APPLICATIONS
• Interior structural reinforcement such as walls,
load floors, headliners, door panels, storage,
storage lids, and trim pieces
• External body panels
• Front end and door module reinforcement
• Service access cover reinforcement
• Interior hatch covers
