Several large applications for one-component moisture-cure urethane adhesives are available. Polymeric MDI is an exceptional binder for wood products, such as oriented strand board and particleboard. One-component urethane windshield adhesives are used almost exclusively in both the OEM and automotive aftermarket. One-part urethane adhesives are used to assemble the sidewalls for recreational vehicles (RV s), manufactured housing, and mobile homes. In construction applications, one-part urethanes are used to bond metal doors, hardwood flooring, panels, and partitions.

Perchloroethylene has replaced 1,1,1-trichloroethane in aerosol formulations for the automotive aftermarket, particularly for brake cleaning. These formulations provide auto repair shops with highly effective, nonflammable products. 

The OEM automotive business is directed at marketing adhesives and sealants through the final assembly of the vehicle, whereas the automotive aftermarket sells products to dealers, professional repair shops and do-it-yourself stores.

In order to define the extent of emissions from automotive brakes and clutches, a study was carried out in which specially designed wear debris collectors were built for the dmm brake, the disk brake, and the clutch of a popular U.S. vehicle (1). The vehicle was driven through various test cycles to determine the extent and type of brake emissions generated under all driving conditions. Typical original equipment and aftermarket friction materials were evaluated. Brake relines were made to simulate consumer practices. The wear debris was analyzed by a combination of optical and electron microscopy to ascertain the asbestos content and its particle size distribution. It was found that more than 99.7% of the asbestos was converted to a nonfibrous form and... 

Two-component urethane adhesives are used to bond sheet molding compound (SMC) panels for automotive OEM and aftermarket applications. Two-part urethanes are used as laminating adhesives in the RV industry. 

The automotive sensor business is a typical OEM business there is virtually no consumer aftermarket. The sensors are specified by either the car manufacturer or the tier-one supplier, depending on who has responsibility for a certain system. Car manufacturers and tier-one system suppliers form the customer base for the sensor supplier. 

Thus, substrates such as aluminium and its alloys, alloys of titanium, low- and high-carbon steels, nickel, copper, fibre-reinforced plastics (containing both thermoplastic and thermosetting matrices - in the latter case, the matrix might well also be a formnlated epoxy-based system), glass, concrete and wood are all encountered. This means that they can be, and indeed are, widely used in construction, aerospace, automotive (both original equipment and aftermarket), electrical and electronics, furnimre, foundry, consumer and abrasives applications. 

But for all camera apphcations in the automotive industry, a long-term, stable physical interface and an implemented standardized camera API are the preconditions to solving the challenges of second-source suppliers and aftermarket demand. With increasing volume, economy of scale will make cameras affordable in all applications and market segments.

Resilient tapes are also used in the automotive area for the sealing of windshields and backlites. These tapes not only seal but also serve as the primary adhesive to hold the window glass in place. Although OEM use has declined in recent years, tapes are still used extensively in the aftermarket. Partially cured butyl is used exclusively in these tapes in order to meet the requirements of high shear strength, absence of flow and sag, and the ability to withstand the varied exposure conditions and vibrations encountered in a moving automobile.
