Automotive Materials

Lightweight composite and reinforced plastics are new material systems widely used across the automotive industry to improve fuel efficiency. Also, the use of adhesives and sealants for automotive parts is replacing welding and mechanical fasteners to bond different materials, keep the vehicle weight minimal but facing new challenges to live up to the bond strength and durability requirements for automotive applications like structural bonding and electronic systems. Everlight Chemical’s Eversorb series offers a variety of light stabilizers and UV absorbers to protect resins in adhesives and sealants, like epoxy, polyurethane and PVC, against the loss of mechanical performance caused by light degradation, enhancing durability to fulfill the requirements for automotive industry.
