Content | aei OCTOBER 2005 Custom reprint from: aei-online.org material innovations materialinnovations There are interesting contradictions that the automotive industry faces every day. How do OEMs and their suppliers manu- facture a vehicle that is lighter, yet has increased strength? How can automakers deliver a vehicle that is more fuel effi - cient, but is cost effective to produce? In the past, the response to demands for more strength was simple—just add supports and welds. However, this adds costs and increases weight and manufac- turing complexity. Today, the industry is looking to chemical bonding and struc- tural foam technologies to help deliver more robust, yet lighter and more fuel- effi cient vehicles. Premier automakers already rely on structural foams and adhesives to help improve vehicle strength and perfor- mance. In fact, structural adhesives can replace many of the average passenger vehicle’s 1400 welds. Depending on the application, these adhesives also have the potential to reduce costs by up to $80 per vehicle. As technology advances, structural adhesives and foams, bonding tapes, and foam reinforcement parts will continue to Adhesives, structural foams deliver lighter, tougher vehicles Henkel provides advanced bonding technologies to Thomas Built Buses, resulting in the world’s fi rst mass-produced school bus, the Saf-T-Liner C2, that uses room- temperature-curing structural adhesives as a primary fastening method. |
