PUR Adhesives Used in Automotive IndustryHot melt adhesive and moisture-reactive polyurethane (PUR) hot melt adhesive are often used in car bodies and vehicle applications due to its high strength, flexibility, weather resistance and irreversible properties. Such as, lamps, automotive carpets, electronic equipment, automotive filtration, seating and interior applications. Automotive Adhesives Sealants MarketThe automotive adhesives and sealants market was valued at USD 6,414.1 million in 2020. As far as the global automotive industry is concerned, adhesives have become a key technology in the automotive industry, replacing welding and mechanical fasteners. The average family car uses more than 15kg of adhesive. Metal components are replaced with composite materials, bonded with adhesives, which reduces the car's weight and improves fuel efficiency. In addition to light weighting, manufacturers use adhesives to increase vehicle strength and rigidity, absorb vibrations and dampen unwanted engine and road noise, and overall improve passenger comfort and safety. Why Moisture-Reactive Polyurethane (PUR) Hot Melt Adhesive?In the automotive manufacturing industry, components must be designed and produced to meet requirements for accuracy, quality, safety, dependability and repeatability. So when automakers choose an adhesive to bond parts, they typically choose reactive polyurethane hot melts (PUR). Due to form a thermoset polymer with good solvent and chemical resistance, it has the advantages of good high/low temperature resistance, strong adhesive performance, impact resistance, etc. It can be used for bonding of various materials, and is used for seat and interior trim parts and automotive electronic components in automobile manufacturing. Hot melt adhesives are widely used in automobiles as they provide good adhesion to leather, fabric, glass and polymer-based surfaces. Tex Year glues and coatings commonly used in the automotive industry are as below:1.    Automotive Lamp SealantDue to the harsh environment in which the headlights are used, the temperature inside the headlights can be as high as 170°C when the lights are turned on for a long time. Therefore, the headlight glue must ensure that its performance is stable at high temperatures and does not release organic gases to cause atomization. In weather conditions such as wind and rain, the headlight glue needs to maintain stable performance under long-term erosion and impact from wind and rain. Under long-term exposure to the sun, the car lamp glue must also be able to withstand ultraviolet rays without causing cracks and other aging phenomena.Car lamp glue can use butyl rubber system, PUR hot melt adhesive system. PUR hot melt adhesive has the advantages of fast curing and high initial strength of hot melt adhesive. It can be quickly bonded and at the same time play a role of sealing, which not only reduces the cost but also facilitates automatic production. It has strong initial adhesion and fast curing speed, and can carry out other assembly processes without long-term storage after the lamp is glued. In the subsequent storage and transportation, it will further react with moisture in the air to increase the curing strength. Good temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and aging resistance and other characteristics. BaseGradePackaging Spec.Viscosity (cps)PURR2120G/B18kg/ pail300ml/cartridge9,000 @120℃R2215G/B20kg/ pail12,000 @ 120℃Butyl Rubber HMABR021G/B18kg/CTN21,000 @200℃Gel-Like Sealant HMABR015G/B12kg/CTN15,200 @200℃ 2.    UV Primer Headlights are one of the most important parts of your car that need to be protected to extend their life. The main material of the lamp holder is PC/ABS and BMC. There will be fine unevenness on the plastic surface, which will cause random reflection during vacuum coating and affect the brightness. Use UV primer to fill in the unevenness of the plastic to make the coating smooth and fully reflect the brightness. GradeAppearanceViscosity (Sec,NK-2,25℃)1553BClearLight Yellow Liquid 12~14S 1553AClearLight Yellow Liquid 9.5~11S 1553CClearLight Yellow Liquid 11~13S  3.    Hard CoatCar lampshades are made of PMMA or PC. Long-term outdoor exposure is prone to yellowing, cracking, powdering and white fog. Moreover, when the vehicle is driving at high speed, the lamps are easily affected by sand and gravel impact, insect corpses, dust and oil and other substances are attached. Use Hard Coat protective coating to prevent changes from external factors and make the lights more durable. GradeAppearanceViscosity (Sec,NK-2,25℃)1552DClearLight Yellow Liquid 7~10S  4.  Automotive InteriorBase: PUR hot melt adhesive, hot melt adhesiveNowadays, automobile interiors are mostly made of leather, artificial leather, foam plastics, artificial sponges and other materials.
