Glass Attachment and Molding Adhesives
Glass molding is central to modern vehicle design, combining aesthetics and function in windows and structural components. H.B. Fuller offers advanced adhesives for glass bonding and encapsulation, supporting precise molding across materials like glass, plastic, ceramic, and metal. These solutions streamline side window encapsulation and enable integration of electronic components, delivering versatility for both structural and design applications.
Interior Trim
H.B. Fuller offers a full range of adhesive and sealant options for interior trim applications, including instrument panels, glove compartments, steering wheels, consoles, dashboards, foams and felts, seats, floors and more. Our broad range of high-performance reactive and thermoplastic hot melt, water-based, and solvent-based adhesives help address your leather, synthetic or composite bonding challenges.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)
H.B. Fuller offers advanced Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) solutions for the automotive industry that are designed to improve comfort, durability, and performance. Our adhesives and sealants help to dampen vibrations, reduce structural noise, and minimize harshness in interior and exterior applications.
Underbody (Chassis and Powertrain)
H.B. Fuller provides a full range of adhesives and sealants for underbody applications, including chassis, powertrain, and the underbody coatings. Our solutions deliver durable bonding, reliable sealing, and protection in demanding underbody environments. Our technologies support chassis lightweighting and ensure powertrain integrity under heat and stress, and our Hydroarmor® coatings provide corrosion resistance, chip protection, and noise reduction, helping extend vehicle performance and longevity.
Water Shield and Weatherstrip
Water shields and weatherstrips keep dirt, dust, water and wind from entering a vehicle, and must be designed to be permanently flexible in all conditions, from the summer heat to winter cold. H.B. Fuller’s adhesives and sealants ensure that a vehicle’s water shields and weatherstrips will not only keep environmental elements out but also last a lifetime.
Advantages of using adhesives in automotive manufacturing
Lightweighting and better gas mileage:
• Bonding of different materials
• Uniform force and stress distribution
• No mechanical surface damaging
• No reduction of material strength
• Prevention of contact-corrosion
• Bonding of heat-sensitive materials
• Absorption of energy in case of a crash
• Vibration dampening / Sound absorbing
• Corrosion protection
