The use of adhesives in electric vehicles is even more widespread than their use in conventional automobiles.  Adhesives offer many advantages to both types of vehicles, including; ease of use compared to welding, environmental resistance, sealing, distributing stress, and joining dissimilar materials. The advantages of adhesives specific to electric vehicles include bonding composites and low surface energy plastics, reducing weight, thermal conductivity, and electrical insulation.

 

Typical Applications:

• Bonding battery boxes
• Bonding battery cells to casings
• Bonding and potting sensors
• Bonding magnets in electric motors
• Bonding doors, hood, and trunk components
• Threadlocking and retaining bolts, pins, and bearings
• Bonding interior dashboard and trim
• Sealing heat exchangers
• Forming gaskets
