Glass bonding automotive applications

Another well-established use of UV/visible lighf curing adhesives is glass, a plastics bonding in the automotive industry. Typical applications are lamination of safety glass, fastening of rear-view mirrors to windshields, and assembly of headlights. ... 

Chem. Descrip. High m.w. polyamide/polyester copolymers Uses Hot-melt adhesive for extrusion of fusible film, monofilament, netting, web, and multifilament, for thin film fusible coatings, for applic. by disp. techniques used in textile industry, adhesive for fusion bonding of textiles, leather, wood, glass, and metals, and misc. applies, incl. automotive interiors, belts, color cones., hats, hose construction, rainwear, shoes, television tubes, wire coating, etc. 

Aliphatic TPUs based on isocyanates like methyldicyclohexyl diisocyanate (H12 MDI), 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) are light stable and offer excellent optical clarity. They are commonly employed in automotive interior and exterior applications and as laminating films to bond glass and polycarbonate together in the glazing industry. They are also used in projects where attributes like optical clarity, adhesion, and surface protection are required. 

Other applications of fiberglass include insulation for construction applications, roofing shingles, and automotive insulation applications. These are not always composite applications in the strictest sense, but still require a coupUng agent to bond a resinous coating to the glass surface.
